"We are thrilled to continue as Pfizer's vendor for laboratory asset disposition services. Our successful relationship has been the foundation of our operations over the past decade, and we are pleased that Pfizer continues to see the value in our services, processes, and results," said Nick Dove, President of HGP. "As we continue to invest in our robust platform for BioPharma equipment buyers and sellers, we are confident that we will continue to impact Pfizer's financial asset recovery in a meaningful way while simultaneously helping Pfizer contribute to the circular economy by extending the life cycle of excess and obsolete assets through its redeployment back into the lab ecosystem."
