Weleda

Background

A recognized leader in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics sectors, Weleda operated a strategic factory in Huningue, near the Swiss border. Faced with industrial reorganization, the company needed to find a quick and reliable solution to maximize the value of its assets.

Equipment highlights

The site housed an attractive range of machinery: ROTA filling machines, CMA cartoning machines, Herma labeling machines, PEWO-PACK Pester packaging machines, Coris/Hermes bottle filling machines, as well as various agitators, scales, and laboratory equipment. These were all high-quality assets that met the needs of demanding buyers in the second-hand market.

Transaction

Weleda issued a call for tenders for the management and valuation of its equipment. PIPM won the contract thanks to its turnkey approach, its ability to maximize the value of each asset, and its guarantee of a controlled end-to-end process.

Procedure

PIPM deployed all its expertise in international remarketing: detailed inventory, promotion of the equipment to its global network of buyers, secure dismantling, and optimized logistics and transport. Each step was managed with rigor, transforming an industrial challenge into an opportunity for value creation.

Result

In just three months, the factory was completely emptied, cleaned, and returned ready for a new use. The equipment found a second life with new users internationally, while Weleda benefited from a fast, efficient, and value-generating solution.
