Based on this product, Shenzhen General Measure was founded in 1993. In the following year, over 1000 units of GM8803, the sister model of GM8801, were sold in the Chinese market.

Since 2006, General Measure's weight controllers has occupied more than 25% of the market in China and dominated in the high-end market.
