Please contact HiSiaddi customer service if you require additional comparative analysis of brands and models.
The client is PHARMADE GmbH, a high-end pharmaceutical intermediate enterprise based in Munich, Germany, specializing in R&D and production of key intermediates for anti-tumor and anti-viral drugs and serving top European pharmaceutical companies. The firm complies with EU GMP, ICH Q7 and full REACH standards, imposing strict requirements on catalyst activity, selectivity, impurity control and batch stability, representing a typical overseas medium-to-high-end client.
Core Demand: Procure high-activity Ru/C ruthenium-based hydrogenation catalysts for selective hydrogenation of pharmaceutical-grade unsaturated heterocyclic intermediates. Performance targets: conversion rate ≥99.2%, selectivity ≥98.5% under low temperature (≤90°C) and low pressure (≤2.0 MPa); Ru loading 2%–3%, impurities (Cl⁻/S) <0.5 ppm, service life ≥4000 h. Annual procurement volume: 150 kg, requiring stable supply, technical support and traceable compliance documentation.
Client Pain Point: First-time purchase of Chinese high-activity ruthenium catalysts with zero understanding of domestic mainstream brands, core models, technical differences and applicable scenarios. Four contacted manufacturers only promoted their own products, evaded peer comparisons and withheld objective competitor advantages, leaving the client unable to conduct horizontal benchmarking and fearing selection errors that would disrupt production and compliance. The client commissioned HiSiaddi to conduct independent research, deliver objective comparisons, provide targeted recommendations and facilitate procurement implementation.
Based on industry databases, on-site factory inspections, sample testing and end-user feedback, HiSiaddi screened 5 domestic medium-to-high-end ruthenium-based hydrogenation catalyst brands, delivering unbiased disclosure of strengths, weaknesses and applicable scenarios across six dimensions: technical strength, core models, key parameters, advantages, drawbacks and matching working conditions.

1. Client Evaluation & Brand Selection The client organized internal technical team assessments based on HiSiaddi’s unbiased comparative report, sample test data, technical parameter benchmarks and compliance certification documents:
· Recognized HiSiaddi’s impartial, professional and objective research, resolving core pain points of information asymmetry and manufacturer self-biased promotion.
· Finalized procurement split: 70% of orders allocated to Sino-platinum Ru/C-GY2.5 to guarantee compliance and peak performance; 30% reserved for Kaili Ru-105 to balance costs and flexible replenishment.
· Deferred procurement of Zannan Catalyst due to premium pricing and incomplete certification progress, with follow-up evaluation planned for complex substrate hydrogenation projects.
1. Sample Testing & Acceptance HiSiaddi coordinated supply of 50 g samples from Sino-platinum and Kaili for client laboratory testing:
· Sino-platinum Ru/C-GY2.5: 99.7% conversion, 99.2% selectivity, Cl⁻ 0.2 ppm, fully compliant.
· Kaili Ru-105: 99.4% conversion, 98.8% selectivity, Cl⁻ 0.4 ppm, fully compliant. Samples passed internal QA/QC audits, compliance reviews and lab-scale validation.
1. Mass Procurement & Delivery The client issued an annual 150 kg order split as follows: 105 kg Sino-platinum Ru/C-GY2.5 delivered in 3 batches, 45 kg Kaili Ru-105 delivered in 2 batches. HiSiaddi tracked full production, quality inspection, packaging, logistics and customs clearance, supplying full-batch traceability reports, test certificates and compliance documentation. The first 50 kg shipment (35 kg Sino-platinum + 15 kg Kaili) was delivered within 22 days and passed client acceptance in full.
Overseas medium-to-high-end clients purchasing Chinese high-activity ruthenium-based hydrogenation catalysts primarily suffer from asymmetric brand information, manufacturer self-promotion bias, inability to conduct objective benchmarking and elevated selection risks. Conventional manufacturers prioritize profit and avoid peer comparisons, unable to deliver neutral advisory services.
Drawing on independent third-party perspective, in-depth industry research capabilities, objective comparative analysis and precise demand matching, HiSiaddi resolves client information gaps, trust deficits and selection difficulties:
· Neutral Research: Comprehensive cross-brand comparison of 5 manufacturers with unbiased disclosure of genuine strengths and weaknesses without favoritism or denigration.
· Targeted Recommendations: Aligned with core client demands of compliance, high activity, high selectivity and low impurities, two brands and three models are proposed covering all priority tiers.
· Risk Mitigation: Sample testing, certification audits and lab validation reduce procurement selection risks.
· One-Stop Service: End-to-end support covering research, brand recommendation, sample supply, procurement, delivery and after-sales technical assistance.
Ultimately, the client sourced matching, compliant and cost-effective catalyst products that satisfy rigorous production requirements while optimizing supply chain expenditure, laying a foundation for expanded future procurement and deeper cooperation.
