Biography

Whether it be the need to sell a single instrument or liquidate an entire facility, ALT is your one-stop, full-service provider of surplus asset strategies and solutions. For companies looking to maximize their ROI on idle assets, ALT provides a broad range of customized asset services including outright purchases, trade-in programs, consignment, and auction services. ALT is also a leading provider of refurbished instruments ranging from small benchtop accessories to larger systems including HPLC, GC, and Mass Spec. Under Bernstein’s leadership, the company has guided major brands in investment recovery of surplus and idle instruments, including: Boehringer Ingelheim, Five Prime, Titan Pharmaceuticals, DuPont, Pepsi, Eurofins and more than 300+ companies just over the last 12 months.  Bernstein has leveraged the company’s access to early stage, small to medium sized biotech companies, and academia by securing key alliances with some of the most reputable names in the industry, including BIO and Agilent Technologies – two organizations that understand the benefit of reaching this important demographic. In 2021, after collaborating on many surplus projects over the years, ALT was acquired by Heritage Global Partners (NASDAQ: HGBL), a global leader in asset advisory and auction services, based in San Diego, California.
