Major API Manufacturers in China
As a pharmaceutical importer, you must choose the right API manufacturers when importing pharmaceutical raw materials from China, whether you buy directly from the manufacturers or source them through traders. It depends on your needs
Let me give you several examples, and then you will better understand.
If you want to import Amoxicillin API Powder, go with Zhuhai United Lab. If you are trying to buy imipenem monohydrate, you will choose Shenzhen Haibin Pharma, right?
If you need to source paracetamol, check the prices from Hebei Jiheng Pharma. When you need to import Vitamin C, contact CSPC.
But you may ask: Why? Ok, below are the reasons:
#1. Reliable and steady Quality
Your proper manufacturer has been supplying this API for years. They will ensure that the apps provided to you are consistent, which is very important for your medicine manufacturing. Even if there is any quality issue, they will do their best to solve it.
Take Valsartan‘s NDMA, for example. If Huahai Pharma were an unreliable manufacturer, it would not have intervened in the NDMA scandal; it would have disappeared. However, it did stand out and shoulder all the responsibilities it should have, such as refunding its customers or negotiating a deal.
None of the other testing facilities raised the issue of NDMA, but Huahai did. It is a sign of social responsibility.
#2. Ready registration documents with official audit availability
As those API factories have been manufacturing pharmaceutical ingredients for decades, they have registered many APIs in foreign MOHs. Even if some products are not registered, they prepare documents for suitable foreign customers before the import.
Plus, their manufacturing facility is suitable for your official audits
#3. Reasonable prices with controllable lead time
You may not get the lowest prices, but fair market prices. Without soaring intermediate prices, factories will keep prices stable for years.
Also, those manufacturers will not postpone the lead time over time as others do; you have no problem with the lead time here.
