International Relocations

At Johnsons Laboratory Logistics, we understand that relocating a laboratory is no ordinary task. The sensitive and high-value nature of scientific equipment demands precision, expertise, and careful coordination. That’s why we offer a fully managed, end-to-end international laboratory relocation service designed to make even the most complex moves hassle-free and efficient.

Our team specialises in working with organisations within the scientific, academic, and hi-tech sectors. From universities and research institutes to biotech firms and manufacturers of laboratory equipment, we ensure that every piece of your operation – from the smallest lab tool to the most intricate apparatus – is transported safely across borders.

With decades of experience in handling international lab relocations, we know that every project comes with its own set of challenges. That’s why we tailor our services to fit the unique needs of your laboratory, offering a range of flexible transportation options to suit your schedule and budget.

What We Offer:

  • End-to-End Project Management:
    We pride ourselves on being a true one-stop-shop for international relocations. From the initial consultation and planning stages through to the safe arrival of your equipment, our project managers are with you every step of the way. We provide detailed timelines, risk assessments, and regular updates so you can always have full visibility of your project. Our goal is to reduce downtime, allowing your laboratory to be up and running as quickly as possible at its new location.
  • Specialist Export Packing:
    The security of your equipment is paramount. We use custom-designed packaging solutions that are tailored to the specific requirements of laboratory apparatus. Fragile, sensitive, or hazardous items are carefully packed to minimise any risk during transit. Our team is fully trained in the safe handling of highly specialised and sensitive laboratory instruments.

We understand the importance of timely clearances and work to minimise delays at every checkpoint.

    Whether you require dedicated transport for a time-critical move or prefer the cost efficiency of groupage transport, we provide the solution that works best for your needs. Our dedicated transport service ensures your laboratory equipment is the sole priority, giving you maximum control over the move. For more flexible schedules, our groupage transport offers cost-effective, consolidated shipments without compromising safety.
  • Secure Loading and Unloading:
    Our trained personnel handle every piece of your equipment with the utmost care.
