Benefits and Cost Savings of Purchasing Pre-owned Equipment

In a number of recent posts we have discussed some of the myths that keep companies from purchasing pre-owned machinery and equipment. Now, let’s talk about the cost-savings and benefits of purchasing pre-owned equipment.

A recent client of EquipNet, a Fortune 500 global pharmaceutical company with 100,000-plus employees and facilities in more than 140 countries, had an immediate need for two 30-liter bioreactors, and was considering purchasing new equipment for the quoted price of $205,000. The wait time for this equipment would have translated to significant lost lab/production time for the company.

EquipNet’s sales force was able to locate two unused Sartorious 30-Liter Bioreactors that perfectly fit our client’s needs. EquipNet negotiated the purchase of both bioreactors on our client’s behalf for a total of $115,000 without any lead time. At the end of the transaction, EquipNet Procurement Services saved our client a total of $90,000, as well as the invaluable time that would have been spent waiting for their equipment to arrive.

EquipNet’s Procurement Solutions is a revolutionary program that helps companies save millions of dollars per year by sourcing high-quality, pre-owned assets. Drawing on over a decade of experience serving brand name corporations, EquipNet has designed this program to allow companies to benefit from 25% to 75% savings off the cost of new – while avoiding the time, effort, and risk traditionally associated with the used equipment market.
