In 1989, Sinox was selected by Small and Medium Enterprises Administration (MOEA) as one of the model companies in Taiwan. The following year, MOEA has named Sinox as one of the Giant award winners to further recognize the achievement.

Sinox is not only recognized as a structured and efficient company, its innovative designs have earned applause from the public as well. In 2000, many of our products such as bicycle combination alarm lock RL-773, Resettable bicycle lock WL-663, and Resettable U-bar bicycle lock WL-896 were awarded with the prize of "Good Design Award". During the same year, we also won the prestigious government funded award for none listed companies: the "Rising Star Award". At the beginning of a new century, Sinox's laptop alarm lock RL-773 was selected to win the Symbol of Excellence (SOE) Awards, a prestigious product recognition given only to local companies that use innovation to create value in design and manufacture.
