Image 19 Across Europe’s life sciences and bioprocessing sector, manufacturers are facing a familiar challenge: how to efficiently manage surplus laboratory and production assets while maintaining compliance, recovering value, and minimizing internal disruption. As facilities evolve, research priorities shift, and technologies advance, idle equipment can quickly become a logistical and financial burden.
EquipNet works with leading pharmaceutical, biotech, and life sciences organizations across Europe to address these challenges through structured surplus asset management programs. By combining local expertise with a global buyer network, EquipNet enables manufacturers to redeploy, sell, or consign surplus equipment in a way that aligns with operational, financial, and sustainability goals.
From Facility Transitions to Targeted Equipment Sales
EquipNet supports a wide range of surplus scenarios, from full facility closures to surplus to ongoing operations, helping organizations move assets offsite efficiently while maintaining transparency and control throughout the process. Services include coordinated logistics, secure warehousing, cataloging, global marketing, and multiple sales channels including negotiated sales, consignment, and online auctions.
A recent example of this approach is an upcoming European auction featuring surplus analytical and bioprocessing equipment from a leading pharmaceutical manufacturer in the Netherlands.
Online Auction: February 17–19, 2026
