American Rebel Holdings to Acquire
Champion Safe Company
Acquisition To Add
Approximately $20 Million in Revenues to American Rebel
Nashville, TN / July 7, 2022 -- InvestorsHub
NewsWire -- American Rebel Holdings, Inc.
(NASDAQ: AREB) – America's Patriotic Brand (the
"Company") today announced it has entered into an agreement to
acquire Utah-based Champion Safe Company, and its ancillary
companies (collectively, "Champion").
Champion is a leading manufacturer of gun safes with an
industry wide reputation for security, fire protection, quality of
finish and workmanship. The
transaction is valued at approximately $9.9 million and is expected
to add more than $20 million in revenues to American Rebel and be
accretive to net income.
Andy Ross, Chief Executive Officer of American Rebel,
commented, "We are excited to bring the Champion name into the
American Rebel family. Founded in
1999 by Ray Crosby, Champion has three safe lines; Champion Safe,
Superior Safe and Safe Guard Security Products; which feature some
of the most secure and highest quality gun
safes. We believe the companies are a natural
fit and their synergies will help us grow the
brands.
For example, Champion
factories already manufacture American Rebel
safes.
The addition of Champion's
dealers will be a great benefit to American Rebel. Champion has a
clean balance sheet and a solid backlog of orders already, so we're
ready to move almost immediately. We're looking forward to growing
together."
Doug Grau, President of American Rebel Holdings, added, "Ray
Crosby is a foundational figure in the safe business and Champion
Safe is the culmination of his 40 years in the safe business. We
are proud to continue his legacy.
Our combination will allow for expanded manufacturing to fill
a significant backlog of orders and will allow for the development
of new dealer accounts. Champion's
sizeable existing dealer base, nationwide distribution and
seniority with buying groups and trade shows should have an
immediate impact on American Rebel. The American Rebel team is very
eager to work with Ray and his team and move the company
forward."
The acquisition is expected to close on or before August 31,
2022, and is subject to customary approvals, the obtaining of
financing and other closing conditions.
