GMI Information

Founded in 1996, GMI is a national supplier of new and certified pre-owned laboratory instrumentation, backed by a service and asset management practice that supports equipment across its entire working life. GMI's work spans the full lifecycle of a lab asset. New instrument sales bring current-generation systems from manufacturer partners. Certified pre-owned sales give labs access to proven platforms at a fraction of new-equipment cost, with every unit inspected, refurbished, and functionally tested by in-house technicians before it ships. Service and preventive maintenance keep those instruments calibrated and productive long after installation. And when a lab consolidates, relocates, or winds down a program, GMI handles the other end: consignment and liquidation to recover value from idle assets, plus planning, inventory, decommissioning, and logistics for relocations of any size. GMICore, the company's consumables platform, keeps benches stocked between those milestones. Facilities in Minnesota, San Diego, and Delaware put GMI within reach of every major research corridor in the country, from the West Coast biotech cluster to the mid-Atlantic pharmaceutical hub. That footprint means shorter transit times, faster on-site service response, and the warehouse capacity to take on relocations and liquidations at scale. That range is the point. Most suppliers sell a box or service a box. GMI is one accountable partner from procurement through resale, which means fewer vendors to coordinate, less downtime between them, and capital recovered on the way out instead of written off. Nearly three decades in, GMI is trusted by leading names in research and industry, including Pfizer, Moderna, Harvard, MIT, NIH, and NIST, alongside thousands of universities, hospitals, biotech companies, and contract labs nationwide.
