EquipNet Celebrates a Decade in Business with Launch of New Website

At 10-Years Old, EquipNet.com is Better than Ever!

CANTON, Mass., June 24 /PRNewswire/ -- EquipNet has a lot to celebrate this summer with its 10-year anniversary and the premiere of its new and improved website at EquipNet.com. Recognized as the global leader in proactive surplus asset management, EquipNet helps large and small corporations manage, buy, and sell idle manufacturing equipment.

The MarketPlace(TM) at EquipNet.com is the world's largest online venue for buying and selling pre-owned industrial assets. Now, in addition to its extensive inventory of used and unused equipment for sale, the site has been overhauled to include the following new and beautifully designed features:

• User-Friendly Navigation. The MarketPlace(TM) has been reorganized to help buyers find exactly what they need in the easiest possible way. Buyers in the market for a particular piece of equipment can search by industry, function, and manufacturer or even post an "equipment wanted" notice.
• The latest in Auction Technology. The launch of EquipNet.com also marks the premiere of EquipNet's Smart Auction technology. In addition to negotiated sales, EquipNet is also a leader in the industrial auction space. Unlike the strictly traditional auctions where minimum reserves make bidding a hit or miss proposition, Smart Auctions gives the seller the option of accepting bids that are close to the reserve in real time. This flexibility significantly increases the possibility of bids being accepted. Smart Auctions is nothing less than a revolution in online auction technology.
• Easier Access to EquipNet Services. EquipNet.com has a new services tab that provides visitors with information about each of EquipNet's 29 services to help them find, price, track, and sell their idle and surplus manufacturing assets.
• Move Your Assets Blog. The blog will feature regular columns by EquipNet's industry experts who want to share their knowledge and expertise in the pharmaceutical, chemical, biotech, IT, and consumer processing and packaging industries. They'll be links to other blogs and websites and interesting, relevant news items. EquipNet welcomes and appreciates comments from blog visitors.
• My EquipNet. Just like before, every time a visitor returns to EquipNet.com, they will be able to manage their buying and selling activity and track their shipments of equipment.

EquipNet's CEO and President, Roger Gallo, is thrilled about the upgrades to the website. "It's a wonderful tribute to our 10-year anniversary," says Gallo. "Since we opened our doors, in 1999, EquipNet's goal has always been to keep growing and improving to meet the changing needs of our customers."

EquipNet's expertise lies in the complete range of equipment used in the Pharmaceutical, Biotech, Chemical, and Consumer Packaged Goods industries and the company's ability to provide its customers with the right marketing solution at the right time. EquipNet services include: complete project management, appraisals/valuations, turnkey redeployment management services, asset sales and marketing, IT hard drive sanitizing, certified environmental disposal, demolition coordination, consignment warehousing, and more.
