Marketing - Electronics / Elect Eng / Marketing of electronic components
German term or phrase: gerade bei
From a press release describing the successful partnership between an electronic components manufacturer and a large electronic components distributor. The distributor is keen to make the point that they do more than just ship components, which is backed up by this statement from the manufacturer:
----
Als Schlüsselfaktor für die kontinuierlich steigende Vermarktung der Produkte durch betrachtet der Hersteller die umfassenden Services des Broadliner weit über die eigentliche Bauelemente Distribution hinaus: „**Gerade bei** Commodities spielt der Distributor und der von ihm gebotene Mehrwert für den Kunden eine große Rolle. Die Differenzierung erfolgt hier vor allem durch den Mehrwert an Technik- und Logistik-Support ...".
----
I can't quite work out if "gerade bei" here is saying "Just as with commodities, ...", "Even for commodities, ...", "Especially for commodities, ...", or something different entirely!

Thanks in advance for your help.
