Gun Safe Maker Steelhead Outdoors Wins Local Business Competition

Scott County Fast-Track Challenge Rewards Winners with Cash & Professional Services

Prior Lake, MN (November 10, 2021) Steelhead Outdoors was recently named the first-place winner in the Scott Country 2021 Fast-Track Challenge. Steelhead Outdoors manufactures patent-pending modular gun safes in Prior Lake, MN. Fast-Track Challenge winners receive start-up cash and professional services. The annual competition is designed to “fast-track” start-up and first-stage businesses to success. The process includes completing an application, business plans and pitching their business to judges from local businesses and government.

Steelhead Outdoors was founded by friends, engineers and avid outdoorsmen, Corey Meyer and Charlie Pehrson. Steelhead Outdoors offers the only modular, fire-insulated made-in-USA gun safe available quickly on the market. The company plans to add welders, assemblers, material handlers, design engineers and sales/customer service staff to their team as they grow.

“We’re thrilled to win the Fast-Track Challenge,” explained Founder Corey Meyer. “It reinforces that our business plan is on track. We’re hoping that these additional resources will propel us forward at a faster rate.

Why consider a modular safe? Traditional safes require hiring a specialized safe moving company, which is costly, or enlisting buddies on a dangerous DIY adventure each time the homeowner moves. Modular safes are easily moved and assembled by two people. Steelhead Outdoors also offers custom-built modular safes to fit any space in the home in a multitude of colors.

Steelhead Outdoors offers three sizes of Nomad Series safes which feature many high-end security features expected in a premium gun safe. Prices start at $2,700. The patent-pending construction features a fully dry insulation system, eliminating the need for a dehumidifier. This system utilizes a radiant heat reflecting coating to reject incoming heat from entering the safe. The metal interior provides additional protection and is made from nearly 100 percent nonflammable materials. The panels are filled with ceramic fire insulation that is rated to 2300 degrees and is non-moisture trapping so it does not require the use of a dehumidifier and will not release steam into the safe in the event of a fire.

“Steelhead Outdoors safe interiors were designed to be non-moisture trapping so there’s no more worrying about rust and mold damaging your valuables inside the safe. Other safes require the use of a dehumidifier. You will not need that with Steelhead Outdoors safes,” explained Meyer. “Plus, we designed the metal interior with integrated flush shelving and accessory brackets that offer an infinite amount of customization options for our customers. And we are always available for one-on-one consults for our customers.”

Steelhead Outdoors Nomad Series of premium modular gun safes is designed and constructed to allow for flexibility and mobility without sacrificing safety or durability. Shooters, hunters and gun collectors will appreciate these smart design decisions.
