Why hire a professional to move in the pharmaceutical sector?

A move in the pharmaceutical sector is different from a traditional move when moving a company, because it is not just about office equipment and administrative procedures.  This vast operation also involves machines that transport products that can be dangerous if handled in the wrong way.  Maison Genné, an expert in moving pharmaceutical equipment in Gosselies, Charleroi and Brabant Walloon, explains the precautions to be taken and the characteristics of this major project.

What precautions should be taken during a move in the pharmaceutical sector?

Moving a pharmaceutical company requires planning down to the smallest detail.  Ideally it is best to call on professionals who will have the skills, knowledge and equipment necessary to ensure that everything goes smoothly.  The preparation is done at least a year in advance!

Whether it is to move a factory, business, or laboratory, it is important to make an inventory of the items to be transported.  Movers will be able to know what packing material to consider and what they will need to put into place when moving certain equipment.  In addition, it is necessary that the equipment be disconnected by the customer or the supplier so that there is no problem when it is hooked back up.

Characteristics of a move in the pharmaceutical industry

There are many specificities specific to handling the logistics and moving a laboratory. For example, the packaging used is carefully selected so that the material is only synthetic.  This is easier to clean.  Other types of packaging used are:

• Seran wrap- Very practical for keeping equipment in a certain position, you can get rid of it quite easily
• Plastic bins- Particularly robust, these bins are a safe bet when it comes to protecting what has been placed inside. They can be disinfected after use

There are generally several areas in a laboratory, including a white one where pollution and external contamination are not welcome.  The smallest particle can destroy years of research.  This is why the movers who will have to move the material that is there will always be equipped with long sleeves and long pants, disposable headgear, disposable shoe covers, white latex gloves, security goggles and protective mask.
