What drives Champion Charter Sales and Service:

 

It’s our commitment to safety for our employees and then our commitment to deliver consistent results to our customer base by providing solutions that meet and exceed their expectations. We are NOT a do-it-all all or ME-TOO company. We focus on what we’re good at and then excel at proving results that add value to our customer base.

Our employees drive Champion Charter.  We are made up of 27 individuals (people/families). We believe that our employees are the backbone of Champion Charter. Without those people showing up day in and day out, doing their best every day, I believe we would just be another place to work.

 

Champion Charter is a family-owned and operated business that is currently under its third generation of family ownership. We have employees that range from 1 year to 49 years of service. Between all of us, we have 341 years of combined service and experience. We are also unique in that we are mostly aligned and partnered with family-owned and operated manufacturers, OEM, and vendors.
