James E. Winner, Jr. began marketing The Club® after his Cadillac was stolen, despite its factory-installed alarm. An Army veteran, he remembered his tour of duty in Korea and how he secured his vehicle's steering wheel with a chain to prevent theft. The concept: If you can't steer it, you can't steal it.™

In marketing The Club®, Winner International created a totally new class of automotive aftermarket security devices. The Club® is the original patented, vehicle steering wheel lock and the No. 1 selling mechanical anti-theft device for cars and trucks.

Winner International was formed and incorporated in 1986. Expanding off the success of The Club®, Winner International moved into the commercial, residential, recreational and personal security and safety markets with other products worldwide. Headquartered in Sharon, Pennsylvania, Winner International is a privately-held battery, security and safety products company.
