WINMAU DART BOARDS

Although the Winmau (pronounced “win more”) name only came into existence in the mid-seventies, the company has been making dartboards since 1945. Originally known as H.A. Kicks, the company started out producing hand-painted elm dartboards, but then moved into the manufacturing of paper-coil dartboards.

The first Winmau bristle dartboards started to appear in the early sixties once rival dartboard manufacturer Nodor’s patent had expired. Winmau quickly gained a reputation for producing exceptional quality boards, and in a 1973, struck a groundbreaking deal with the newly formed British Darts Organization (BDO).

Winmau continues to be the BDO’s dartboard of choice to this day, and is used in all of their major tournaments. Winmau was taken over by Nodor in 2002, ending a long rivalry between the two companies and making the Nodor/Winmau group the largest supplier of darting equipment in the world.
