THE CHAMPION COMPANY, established in 1878, was originally built as a chemical production facility. In the early 1950's, Champion began designing hermetically sealed shipping containers for the United States Government and is currently recognized as a leader in the metal fabrication field, primarily, shipping and storage containers. In 1954, the first hermetically sealed, climate controlled container was built through a joint venture with Wright-Patterson AFB, Allison Engine Company (then General Motors) and The Champion Company.
