Tinkware Wins Two Categories at the "Korea First Brand Awards" for Black Box and Navigation

Ranked First for 22 Consecutive Years in Navigation
and 14 Consecutive Years in Black Box Categories

Tinkware announced on January 6 that its Inavi brand ranked first in the navigation category for 22 consecutive years and in the black box category for 14 consecutive years at the "2026 Korea First Brand Awards," organized by the Korea Consumer Forum.

The "2026 Korea First Brand Awards" is a ceremony that recognizes the most anticipated customer-centric brands expected to lead in 2026. Candidate brands are selected through a preliminary review of basic brand data such as sales figures, market share, and media coverage. The final winners are then determined through a nationwide consumer survey and a review by the Korea Consumer Brand Committee, which is comprised of brand experts from academia and industry.

Inavi, which has been selected as the top brand in the black box category for 14 consecutive years, continues to achieve steady growth not only in Korea but also in overseas markets, based on its customer-oriented, leading-edge technology and highly competitive products. In particular, the launch of the premium black box "Inavi QXD2" early last month has further solidified the brand's leadership in the black box market.

Inavi also secured the top spot in the navigation category for the 22nd consecutive year, once again proving its status as Korea's leading navigation brand. Inavi navigation systems, leveraging Tinkware's 29 years of accumulated expertise, continue to advance differentiated technologies such as augmented reality (AR) solutions and pedestrian recognition solutions, further enhancing its intelligent driver assistance systems (ADAS).

Lee Namkyung, Head of Marketing at Tinkware, stated, "We will continue to strive to deliver even greater value in terms of product competitiveness, quality, and overall service, as the leading brand in the black box and navigation markets."
