Coway (CEO Seo Jang-won) announced on the 12th that the 'Icon Ice Water Purifier' won the IR52 Jang Young-sil Award for the 15th week of 2023. The IR52 Jang Young-sil Award, hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT, is the most prestigious industrial technology award in Korea, given to domestic companies and technology developers leading industrial technology innovation.

Coway has won the IR52 Jang Young-sil Award for the third time, following the home-use cold and hot water purifier in 1997 and the One-Hand Water Purifier in 2012. The Coway Icon Ice Water Purifier consolidates Coway's advanced technology to realize the smallest size among domestic ice water purifiers. It features an ultra-compact size approximately 40% smaller than the company's previous ice water purifiers, greatly enhancing space utilization. Additionally, it applies Coway's patented Dual Rapid Ice-Making Technology to significantly improve performance.

In particular, this product improves ice production speed, with a single ice-making cycle taking only about 12 minutes. It can produce up to approximately 600 ice cubes daily, allowing users to have ice available anytime without shortage.

Park Chan-jung, head of Coway Environmental Technology Research Institute, said, "Based on differentiated technology, Coway is making every effort to provide innovative products and services that offer consumers new daily experiences," adding, "We will continue to strengthen our position as a leading environmental home appliance company through ongoing research and development."
