Want to see some examples of how we’ve done it? Read on …
Case 1
A Fortune 500 global pharmaceutical company had an immediate need for two 30-liter bioreactors, and was considering purchasing new equipment for $205,000. The wait time for this equipment would have translated to significant lost lab/production time for the client.
EquipNet’s sales force was able to locate two unused Sartorious 30-Liter Bioreactors that perfectly fit the 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. In the end, EquipNet Procurement Services saved the client $90,000, as well as the time that would have been spent waiting for their equipment to arrive.
Case 2
A global API manufacturing and R&D company needed to purchase two ultra filtration systems for one of their facilities in Massachusetts. They were quoted prices between $800,000 and $1,000,000 for both systems, and were looking at long lead times. Essentially, they were paying both time and money in order to purchase new.
EquipNet was able to source two unused Millipore ultra filtration systems from another leading pharmaceutical company. Instead of paying the quoted prices, our client was able to purchase both unused Millipore systems for a total of $550,000. EquipNet Procurement Services was able to eliminate lead time, and saved the client more than $250,000.
Case 3
A global pharmaceutical conglomerate’s Belgium site had a dire need for a Bruker NMR in order to continue a pressing project. The client had the option of purchasing a brand-new unit from the manufacturer for a quoted price of €573,000.00 or testing the waters of the used equipment market.
EquipNet’s direct sales force was able to locate a perfectly functional Bruker NMR for their consideration. The unit was exactly what they needed, and they were able to finalize the purchase for a total of €197,000, a fraction of the price quoted directly from the manufacturer.
