The Albany Gazette - Champion Safe and Dave Kindig Ignite New Ultra-Premium Custom Safe Collaboration Built on American Steel, Bold Design, and Unmistakable Craftsmanship

PROVO, UT / ACCESS Newswire / July 1, 2026 / Champion Safe Company (championsafe.com), a premier manufacturer of high-security safes and vault doors, and a proud subsidiary of American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (OTCID:AREB), America's Patriotic Brand™, today announced a bold new collaboration with renowned custom automotive designer Dave Kindig and his team at Kindig-It Design to develop a distinctive line of ultra-premium custom safes that combine serious protection with show-stopping visual impact.

Rooted in American steel, American craftsmanship, and unapologetic design attitude, the collaboration brings together Champion's reputation for elite security and fire protection with Dave Kindig's celebrated ability to transform metal, color, and form into unforgettable statement pieces.

What began as a series of great business conversations at an NHRA race with American Rebel leadership evolved into deeper collaboration, including on-site visits to Kindig-It Design's facilities in Utah, where the shared vision for a premium American-made custom safe line took shape.

Known worldwide as the creative force behind Bitchin' Rides and as one of the most respected names in custom automotive design, Dave Kindig has spent decades building award-winning vehicles that stand apart through passion, craftsmanship, and relentless attention to detail.

That same design philosophy is now helping shape a new vision for custom safes that are built to protect what matters while reflecting the individuality and pride of the people who own them.

Early collaboration work has already drawn strong interest from fans of both brands. In a recently released video, Dave Kindig personally applied custom paint, artwork, and finishing touches to a Champion Safe, giving customers and enthusiasts an early look at the craftsmanship, creativity, and design intensity behind the project.

"Great American collaborations often begin with shared values before they become shared business opportunities," said Andy Ross, CEO of American Rebel Holdings, Inc. "Our discussions at an NHRA race opened the door to what has become a very exciting relationship built on motorsports culture, American craftsmanship, patriotic pride, and a mutual respect for products made the right way. After visiting the Kindig-It facilities in Utah and seeing that passion and precision up close, it became even clearer that this collaboration has the potential to become a high-powered, high-demand offering that truly stands apart."

"Dave Kindig is one of the most respected designers and craftsmen in the custom automotive world," said Tom Mihalek, CEO of Champion Safe. "His ability to take an idea and turn it into something unforgettable aligns perfectly with our commitment to building products that stand apart. This collaboration gives us the opportunity to create safes that deliver Champion-level protection with a whole new level of visual impact and American-made character."

"People know us for building vehicles that stand out because they are different," said Dave Kindig. "Great design comes from passion, craftsmanship, and the drive to build something people are proud to own. That is exactly what makes this collaboration with Champion so exciting. We are bringing the same creative energy and obsessive attention to detail into a product category that has tremendous room for bold design."

The Champion x Kindig collaboration is being developed for collectors, automotive enthusiasts, premium safe buyers, and customers who want more than function alone. The companies envision a line of ultra-premium safes that combine custom-inspired finishes, elevated presentation, and American-made quality with the serious performance standards Champion is known for.

Interested customers, dealers, collectors, and media can join the Champion x Kindig Insider List at championsafe.com/kindig to receive early design reveals, launch updates, event announcements, and preorder information as it becomes available.

Initial models are expected to attract significant early attention, and the companies plan to share additional details as development progresses.
