Boston: Moving Life Science & Biotech Companies

April 14, 2015 by admin

The news that Genzyme is moving to a new, larger headquarters in Kendall Square reinforced Boston’s reputation as the place to be for life science and biotech companies. As companies grow, they need more space, whether that’s into new construction the way Genzyme is doing it, or into an existing vacant biotech space, as many start ups do.

Moving the life science or biotech company can be a complex undertaking. Much of the scientific, manufacturing and computer equipment involved must be handled with caution to protect delicate electronic components; at the same time, their size and weight can make moving challenging. For best results, you’ll want to work with a Boston moving company that has experience serving the life science and biotech community.

Pay attention to your Boston moving company’s custom crating services. Wooden shipping crates are not all created equal! You need shipping crating services that protect fragile components from damage. These crates should be built to order of the most durable material available, custom sized to give your scientific equipment the ultimate in protection. The strategic use of innovative packing materials, including foam in place technology, helps keep your gear safe.

Commercial moves must happen on a strict timeline. It’s important to start talking to your Boston moving company early in the process, so you can have a realistic understanding of how long certain types of equipment moves take and factor that into your timetable. You want to work with a Boston moving company that has access to the necessary equipment to support your move, such as trucks, lifts, pallet jacks and more.

It is good to work with a Boston shipping company that can assist you with the shipping documentation for freight carriers, insurance protection and more. This may seem like a trivial matter, but when you’re moving equipment that’s worth several hundred thousands of dollars, it’s a really good idea to make sure all the paperwork is correct in case it is ever needed.

"My mother was living in a retirement community in Massachusetts. After she passed, there were three groups of items that needed to go to three different locations. One of those groups contained a large china cabinet. This had much sentimental value for me but it needed refinishing before having it shipped to my home in Virginia. I was referred to Boston Pack and Ship. They advised me to ship it directly to a refinisher to save me from having to move the cabinet one more time. Boston Pack and Ship stored the china cabinet while I searched for a refinisher near my home. Long story short, I found a refinisher here in Virginia and Boston Pack and Ship prepared the china cabinet for delivery. It arrived safe and sound to the refinisher on schedule who said it was ‘beautifully wrapped and protected’. I can’t thank Bill and Boston Pack and Ship enough for their help in getting my china cabinet to me safely. Most importantly, they were caring and patient at a difficult time in my life."
