Equipnet - Online Broker of Pre-Owned Pharmaceutical Equipment

EquipNet is the largest online broker of pre-owned pharmaceutical equipment in the world. Our inventory comes from exclusive contracts with leading pharmaceutical companies such as GSK, Novartis, Eli Lilly, AstraZeneca and Bayer.

We provide these Fortune 500 companies with software and services that facilitate the management of their idle assets. Once the equipment is surplus to their needs, EquipNet exclusively lists them on the MarketPlace™ where thousands of buyers from around the world take advantage of affordable prices for this well-maintained inventory.

CASCADING SALES CHANNELS

EquipNet employs a wide variety of sales channels based upon comprehensive inventory plans. Inventory is proactively moved from one disposition channel to another based on time and expected returns. This cascading marketing approach provides the most control to ensure the maximization of returns while at the same time ensuring that all deadlines are met.

There are three major categories of sales channels:

• MarketPlace™ - the dominant site for surplus assets in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and consumer goods industries
• SelectiveSales™ channels often provide faster liquidity than the MarketPlace, but allow the sellers to remain in control of the sale by giving them final approval for any transaction
• QuickSales™ channels - although these channels usually provide lower returns, they offer the seller extremely fast liquidity

EQUIPNET VALUATION AND CONSULTING SERVICES

The foundation of a proactive asset management program begins with confirming and assessing what you have for manufacturing equipment. Our professionals can assist you in verifying and categorizing your assets.

In addition, we can provide comprehensive valuation services. Whether it's desktop valuation or a comprehensive detailed appraisal that needs to stand up to the rigor of litigation or various types of audits, EquipNet's Valuation and Consulting Services provide the professionalism, expertise and flexibility to address all of your needs.

ARMS™ 4.0 - ASSET REDEPLOYMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Before asset management decisions can be made, an organization needs to understand what assets they have and where they are located. EquipNet's proprietary Asset Redeployment Management System (ARMS) is a web-based, secure platform that enables companies to post, track, identify and internally redeploy plant equipment that is not being used in its present location.

Addressing the need for increased efficiency, ARMS contains workflow management, multiple access levels for plant managers and executives across the business, in-dept search functionality and comprehensive listing specifications.

ARMS is currently deployed in over 1,000 facilities worldwide with over 2,500 registered users throughout the globe in companies such as AstraZeneca, Boehringer Ingelheim, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, Unilever, Colgate-Palmolive, Eastman Chemical and ConAgra.

CONSIGNMENT WAREHOUSING

Corporate timetables rarely mesh. A new manufacturing line needs to be up and running by the end of the month but the equipment used in the previous process is still on the floor. This type of scenario leaves the company with few options. They can either scrap all of the machinery and not realize any value or put all the equipment in multiple trailers somewhere in the back of the plant.

EquipNet offers a much more convenient and lucrative option - consignment warehousing. With locations throughout the North America, Europe, and the Caribbean, we're able to manage the removal and storage of assets at a moment's notice.

Consignment not only takes the burden of storage out of the client's hands but also allows potential buyers to inspect multiple assets simultaneously.
