From 2019 to 2021, Boling Electric's main products, food grinders and agitator series (customs HS code of 85094090), accounted for a total export of similar products in China34% and 511%, and exports to the United States accounted for a proportion of similar products exported from China to the United States78% and 1318%, and the export value ranked fourth among China's export enterprises of similar products and the first in Zhejiang Province for three consecutive years from 2017 to 2019.

In terms of performance, from 2021 to the first half of 2023, Boling Electric achieved revenue of 197.3 billion yuan, 14300 million and 64.4 billion yuan, and the net profit in the same period was 7861280,000 yuan, 9056220,000 yuan and 2611030,000 yuan.
Looking back on its capital history, as early as November 2018, Boling Electric has been listed in the first place, referred to as "Boling Electric", and "873083". In April 2021, the IPO of Boling Electric GEM was accepted, and the IPO originally planned to raise 300 million yuan for the construction of Indonesia's small household appliance industrial park, the construction project of small household appliance R&D center, and to supplement the company's working capital.
After several rounds of review and inquiry by the exchange, the IPO of Boling Electric was approved in November 2022. At the review meeting of the Listing Committee, issues such as the concentration of sales of large customers and the fluctuation of gross profit margin were focused on questions. The Listing Committee pointed out that Boling Electric is mainly engaged in the ODM OEM business of small kitchen appliances, and the company's sales revenue to its largest customer, Capital Brands, accounted for a relatively high proportion during the reporting period. In this regard, the Listing Committee requested Boling Electric to explain whether there is a difference between the high concentration of customers and other companies in the same industry, and whether the dependence on Capital Brands has a material adverse impact on the company's ability to continue operations.
In addition, during the reporting period, the gross profit margin of Boling Electric's food processing and mixer products was low and had a downward trend year by year. The Listing Committee requested the company to explain the reasons for the year-on-year decline in the gross profit margin of food processing and mixers, whether there is a risk of continuous decline in gross profit margin and countermeasures.
Although the meeting passed smoothly, there was no further news about the subsequent IPO of Boling Electric. It was not until more than a year later that Boling Electric finally chose to withdraw the issuance and listing application documents, and the GEM IPO also came to an end.
