established
Describes a person, company, or product that has been known, established, and often also respected for a long time.

'Eingeführt' (introduced/established) is the past participle of the separable verb 'einführen' (to introduce). It is used like a normal adjective to describe that something has been 'hineingeführt' (led/brought into) a system or market.
Das Unternehmen hat ein neues Bezahlsystem eingeführt.
The company has introduced a new payment system.
When 'eingeführt' (established) is used in the sense of 'etabliert' (established) or 'angesehen' (respected), it usually describes companies, brands, or people with a long tradition and a good reputation. It often appears together with 'gut' (well).
Das ist eine gut eingeführte Marke, der die Kunden vertrauen.
That is a well-established brand that customers trust.
In the meaning 'newly established', 'eingeführt' (introduced) often refers to rules, laws, technologies, or imported goods. Adverbs like 'neu' (newly) or 'kürzlich' (recently) make this meaning even clearer.
Die kürzlich eingeführte Regel sorgt für Diskussionen.
The recently introduced rule is causing discussion.
new
'neu' and 'eingeführt' can form an opposite when 'eingeführt' means that something is already known and established. A new product is still fresh on the market; an established product has been around for a longer time and many people know it. What can be confusing is that 'eingeführt' can also mean that something has been newly brought into a system, for example a rule. In that case, it really is new at the beginning. So pay attention to the context: 'eingeführt' can mean either 'established' or 'newly introduced'.
