Winning Appliances was founded in 1906 by Richard William Winning. He believed the carriage, hardware and saddlery trade was a substantial enough industry for him to establish his own business, incorporating R.W. Winning Pty Ltd. The company was initially registered as R.W. Winning & Co., Manufacturers Representative, after securing agency agreements with agencies in England.

In 1911, R.W. Winning began representing the Barnsley company, a manufacturer of knives and tools for the leather and grinding trade.

Alongside horse and carriage products, R. W. Winning & Co. represented the Pyrex company, which made Corningware, and the Royal Stafford China company. R. W. Winning & Co. sourced international products during World War I and through the 1920s, and was able to weather the depression. In the 1930s the company obtained the agency for A Simpson & Son Ltd, an Adelaide manufacturer of a vast range of metal ware and cooking equipment. When Simpson's moved into manufacturing whitegoods, the Winning family followed suit and entered the same market.
