Hurom's E50ST Slow Juicer Wins 2025 Red Dot Design Award
SEOUL, South Korea, April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hurom's newest juicer, the E50ST Slow Juicer, has been awarded a 2025 Red Dot Design Award, a globally prestigious honor recognizing outstanding achievements in product design. Recognized as one of the world's top three design competitions—alongside Germany's iF Design Award and the IDEA Design Award in the U.S.—the Red Dot Design Award has been hosted by Germany's Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen since 1955. Winning entries are selected each year through a rigorous evaluation process by leading international design experts. Hurom's E50ST impressed judges with its innovation, functionality, emotional appeal, eco-consciousness, and durability, winning the main prize in the Product Design category. As part of Hurom's latest "Pure Line" series, the E50ST integrates next-generation juicing technology with a precision fine-mesh filter to deliver smooth, clear, and nutrient-rich juice with exceptional performance. Launched this year, the E50ST stands out for its sleek, approachable design—a minimalist body, softly curved lines, and a refined material finish that encourages consumer connection. By highlighting the natural matte texture of the materials and avoiding additional surface treatments, the design achieves a cohesive, sculptural aesthetic. The ventilation grille at the base of the unit adds both form and function—deliberately patterned for optimal airflow to dissipate motor heat while enhancing the visual appeal with its subtle detailing. Since launching its first product in 2008, Hurom has been recognized for its world-class product design, winning multiple accolades at the world's top three design awards, including four Red Dot Design Awards, four iF Design Awards, and three IDEA Design Awards. In addition, the Hurom E50ST was awarded the Kitchen Innovation Award 2025 this past February in Germany. Presented annually at Ambiente—the world's largest consumer goods trade fair held in Frankfurt—the award recognizes products that combine innovation with a deep understanding of consumer needs. What distinguishes this honor is its dual evaluation process, combining expert jury assessment with consumer voting for added credibility. The E50ST earned high praise in four core categories: functionality, ease of use, product excellence, and overall quality. Hurom CEO Jae-won Kim shared, "We're honored that our new E50ST Slow Juicer has received back-to-back recognition from such prestigious global awards," adding "As a pioneer in slow juicing, Hurom remains committed to delivering innovative, design-forward products that help people live healthier lives worldwide."

Hurom Wins Patent Infringement Case Against NUC (Kuvings) in European Unified Patent Court
Court Bans NUC Juicer Sales in Europe, Orders Compensation, Recall, and Destruction of Infringing Products SEOUL, South Korea, April 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hurom, the global pioneer in slow juicing and the inventor of the world's first vertical juicer, has secured a major legal victory against NUC, maker of the Kuvings juicer line, in the Unified Patent Court (UPC) of Europe. On March 11, the UPC's regional division in Mannheim, Germany ruled that NUC—including its Korean headquarters, European subsidiary, and distributor Warmcook—had infringed Hurom's European patent (EP2028981). As a result, NUC is now banned from selling its juicers in Europe, with any violations subject to a fine of €2,000 per infringing unit sold. The court also ordered NUC to compensate Hurom for damages and cover all litigation costs, as well as recall and destroy all infringing products already distributed in the market. One of the key products found to be in violation is the Kuvings AUTO10 juicer. This ruling follows Hurom's previous legal wins in South Korea and the United States, further reinforcing its position as the original innovator behind vertical juicing technology. In December 2024, the Korea Trade Commission determined that NUC had infringed Hurom's patents and engaged in unfair trade practices, issuing a corrective order and imposing a fine. Similarly, in July 2024, Amazon's Amazon Patent Evaluation Express (APEX) process (APEX ID: 15060613361) confirmed NUC's patent infringement, resulting in the suspension of several key Kuvings juicer models in the U.S. market. Hurom CEO Jaewon Kim commented, "This ruling is a strong affirmation of Hurom's technological leadership on the global stage," and added, "We will continue to take firm action against reckless patent infringement and low-cost knockoffs that compromise our mission of promoting health through fruit and vegetable consumption."
