SMOORE International wins Best Design Award at Golden Pin Ceremony
Smol International's "Breathing Machine Joint Use Mesh Nebulizer System" wins Golden Pin Design Award in Taiwan.

Recently, at the Golden Pin Design Award ceremony in Taiwan, China, SOMO International won the prestigious Annual Best Design Award for their self-developed and self-manufactured "Ventilator and Mesh Nebulizer System". This marks the product's fourth global design award, following its previously received German Red Dot Design Award, American IDEA Design Award, and Chinese Golden Reed Industrial Design Award.


The Golden Pin Design Award, which has a 40-year history, is the most prestigious and well-known professional design competition in Taiwan, China. It has been described by the media as the "top design award in the global Chinese market" and the "Oscars of the design industry." This year's awards received nearly 8,000 entries from 30 countries and regions around the world and went through three stages of evaluation before the "Breathing Machine Combined with Mesh Nebulizer System" by SmartTop stood out and won the "Best Design Award of the Year," the highest global honor.


A panel of 102 experts from around the world, including renowned German industrial designer Werner Aisslinger, Dutch interior design master Richard Hutten, renowned Japanese designer Yoshiaki Itoh and architect Sohji Fujimoto, and Zhang Guangmin, regional advisor to the World Design Organization, have deemed Smore's "Breathing Machine Combined with Mesh Nebulizer System" to be an excellent systemic design. The system caters to various needs when using the breathing machine, featuring simple components that are easy to operate and clean. It offers convenience, economy, and efficient functional improvements.


The head of the design team expressed in their acceptance speech that as a global leader in atomization technology, this atomizer incorporates Somor's unique respiratory synchronization technology. It helps doctors achieve high-performance inhalation therapy with minimal dosages of medication for optimal treatment results. This can save over 60% of medication and reduce the economic burden on patients. This embodies the corporate spirit of "Atomization Makes Life Better" of Somor.


Simuol's Respirator Combined with Mesh Nebulizer System


According to reports, the atomization device is equipped with a unique thin film sensor that automatically detects pressure changes within the respiratory system when connected to a ventilator. This triggers the inhalation of the medication, allowing the aerosol to flow through the respiratory system and reach the patient. The atomization stops when the patient exhales, preventing any waste of medication. Additionally, the system offers an efficient connection solution by integrating the controller and atomizer design, eliminating lengthy power cables and simplifying the operation process to prevent any errors. In critical moments, this device could potentially provide patients with additional life-saving time.


It has been reported that Smoore's self-developed and self-manufactured atomizer has won the first medical device award in the global e-vapor industry. This atomizer has obtained 8 patents, including 2 invention patents. The product has obtained relevant registrations and production permits and is expected to be launched to the market soon.

2Firsts Data | China’s Vape Exports Rise 3.1% in H1 2026 as 6-Methyl Nicotine-Related Products Surge 65.2%
China’s vape exports showed resilience in the first half of 2026 after a short-term shock from China’s export rebate adjustment. But customs data points to more than a simple recovery: the structure of growth is changing. Vaping devices and atomization hardware emerged as the strongest growth driver, while nicotine-containing vaping products remained broadly stable. Meanwhile, nicotine substitute-related products represented by 6-methyl nicotine expanded rapidly, becoming a new category to watch for both industry and regulators. After the U.S. market went through a cycle of shortages, replenishment and inventory rebuilding in 2025, China’s vape supply chain is entering a new phase of reallocation.
