BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BioSurplus today celebrates the grand opening of its new 20,000-square-foot showroom and warehouse located at 57 Water Street in Watertown, Mass. In July, BioSurplus announced a $2.4-million investment infusion for its Boston expansion. Since then, the company has hired more than a half-dozen key personnel, with more hires planned for this year. The Grand Opening, which runs until 6 p.m. tonight, is free and features great food, beer, wine and the company’s signature cocktail, the minus80. Additionally, all equipment in the company’s Dec. 6th - 13th online consignor auction will be available for viewing.
“We’re thrilled to make our official Boston debut,” said Jackie Townsend, BioSurplus CMO. “BioSurplus is poised to make a lasting and positive impact on the region’s thriving biotech community by maximizing the value and use of lab equipment for customers across the region.”
The company’s research lab equipment service and repair offering is now fully available to customers throughout the greater Boston area, delivering the most comprehensive pre-owned laboratory instruments and equipment management services to the local biotech community.
“On behalf of the Center, I am thrilled that BioSurplus has found a good location to expand their business here in Massachusetts,” said Susan Windham-Bannister, Ph.D., President & CEO of the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center, the agency charged with implementing Governor Patrick’s 10-year, $1 billion Life Sciences Initiative. “With more than 500 biopharma companies calling our state home, I am confident that BioSurplus will find Massachusetts to be a great place to do business. We look forward to collaborating with BioSurplus as they become an important part of the Massachusetts Life Sciences Supercluster.”
