"Champion Power Equipment has the reputation for providing dependable and durable power products which are engineered to meet our customers' specific needs," said Scott Stefaniak, Champion's Generator Product Manager. "Our collaboration with GenTent provides a new Champion product that encourages customers to always run their generator outside, avoiding carbon monoxide poisoning, and by keeping sensitive areas dry. They are a strong fit with our company's philosophy and we look forward to offering the enhanced safety and operating features to our customers."

GenTent's new OEM program allows organizations to white label its safety canopy for portable and inverter generators. The company's market-leading canopies keep generator operators safe by protecting the electrical panels, from any angle, while running in inclement weather -- including blizzard and hurricane force precipitation. Unlike typical generator doghouses or other full canvas enclosures, the GenTent system allows the generator to cool itself and ensure exhaust fumes are expelled to prevent buildup of poisonous gasses.

"Champion Power Equipment is a thought leader and forward thinking company that takes safety and proper product usage seriously," said Mark Carpenter, CEO and Founder of GenTent Safety Canopies. "As an early endorser of the GenTent product line, we are pleased that the generator tent product category is growing and to have Champion as our first Covered By GenTent® partner."

Champion Power Equipment's Storm Shield, its custom version of the GenTent 10k for portable generators, will be available throughout Champion's online and retail sales channels with anticipated availability in October, 2016.
