Under the guidance of Ontario businessman John Inglis they first manufactured grist and flour mills, and eventually marine steam engines and waterworks pumping engines. Inglis contributed to the World War II effort by manufacturing guns for the Canadian and British governments. Immediately after the war, Inglis focused on consumer products and in 1946 Inglis Home Appliances introduced the wringer washer to Canadian households.

The company negotiated a deal with Upton Machine Company (now Whirlpool) to produce home laundry products, and continued to grow steadily for decades. In 1987, Whirlpool Corporation increased its ownership of Inglis to 71.6 percent. In 2001, Inglis Limited officially changed its name to Whirlpool Canada.
