A pharmaceutical company based in Germany needed to protect a $50,000 piece of equipment while shipping it overseas. The company relied on the expertise and efforts of EquipNet’s operations and logistics personnel and the valuable piece of equipment made it there, safe and sound.
Here’s the story. The customer finalized the purchase of an unused Glatt GC1500 tablet coater in late December 2011. To continue its work as a leading developer and manufacturer of medicines for respiratory, cardiovascular and digestive diseases, the company needed to ship the tablet coater from the seller in the US to its facility overseas.
Just days after contacting the EquipNet Logistics and Operations Team, the company received a highly competitive quote that took advantage of our relationship with a reputable international shipping vendor. With the numbers agreed upon, two EquipNet packaging professionals were assigned to the project for two full workdays to construct a custom crate large enough and strong enough to protect this Glatt GC1500, which stood 12 feet high, 15 feet wide, and weighed in at a whopping 5 tons.
