This acquisition gives CBRE a new and enhanced technical capability that complements its existing global Integrated Laboratory Solutions capabilities for occupier clients in the fast-growing research and laboratory equipment sector. Specifically, CBRE will now be able to self-deliver highly specialized maintenance and repair services for handling some of the most critical laboratory assets, including high-end liquid and gas chromatography, mass spectroscopy and thermal equipment.

Full Spectrum Group will be fully integrated into CBRE’s Global Workplace Solutions (GWS) Integrated Laboratory Solutions business.
