Only Native speaker in englsih????

hi.. I'm a foreigner.
I've already made a fool of myself and now I'm deep in caos fourth day.

for examples
he launched his new product into a Market 1991 through 2000 and he had made hits in the market for 10 years.
though he launched his new product into the market he failed completely after all at the market in 2001.

if I have to use word of "until" what should I do?

if I concentrate his success for 10 years into a focus, --he made great hits in the Market as a new product from 1991 until 2000.

if I concentrate his failure in 2001 into a focus --he made great hits in the Market as a new product from 1991 until 2001.

what do you think about two sentences?
from 1991 until 2000 or from 1991 until 2001?
both are alright?

The structure is inherently open to ambiguity. ' 'He made great hits in the market with new products from 1991 until 2001, when he failed to do so . '

The structure is inherently open to ambiguity. As a native speaker, I would either

(1) add a clarifying phrase:

'He made great hits in the market with new products from 1991 until 2000, and then failed to do so in 2001.'
'He made great hits in the market with new products from 1991 until 2001, when he failed to do so. '

or (2) rephase to avoid 'un
