Cost-effective used equipment for pharmaceutical manufacturers
Within the pharmaceutical industry, it is understood that the loss of a patent for a branded pharmaceutical leads to opportunities for contract manufacturing organizations (CMO) and generic pharmaceutical manufacturers. These manufacturers will often gear up quickly to produce lower margin copies.
This can leave pharmaceutical manufacturers with a surplus of manufacturing equipment, with much of it valuable to generic manufacturers and contract manufacturing organizations (CMO). With a reputable used equipment dealer, the branded manufacturer, CMOs, and generic manufacturers can all realize cost savings. Since the investment in new pharmaceutical equipment remains a large and complex commitment for any manufacturing facility, recovering a portion of that capital investment in equipment is vital.
Project managers often opt to work with a used equipment dealer such as us to evaluate and appraise the equipment. CMOs and generic manufacturers have the opportunity to view and evaluate this equipment for their needs. Used equipment is generally a fraction of the price of new equipment and is available immediately. Engaging with a used equipment dealer provides the opportunity for significant cost savings and the ability to obtain high-quality equipment in a short space of time.
