What we offer

Removal services
We help you relocate your facility’s or unit’s offices, laboratories, heavy equipment, lasers, workbenches, optical tables and many more.

Logistics
We contract an external removal company to load, transport and unload your items.

Initial assessment
We arrange for an appointment between you and the removal company where you can plan and discuss your relocation. We are also happy to join you on request. This is especially recommended for larger and more complex relocations.

We strongly advise you to visit the new location with the removal company prior to your move. This will allow them to take all required measurements in advance.

Preparations:
During your first appointment, the removal company will estimate how much packing supplies you will need. You can either manage the packing by yourself or have the removal company pack everything for you.

You can register your relocation by sending us an informal email with the following details:
