300 km north of London. Stockport, a city with medieval remains. The history of EPI begins in this city.

In 1961, the most advanced technology of the time was introduced into the traditional craftsmanship of the local city, and the production of high-safety recreational gas stoves and lanterns began. Taking the acronym of [Euro Pleasure International], the EPI brand was born here.

In 1973, the world's first self-sealing safety valve came out. This made it possible to attach the burner directly to the cartridge and use the cartridge itself as a base. As a result, it was possible to design a never-before-seen compact gas stove.

In 1974, we had a lineup of recreational products focused on outdoor use.

In 1975, the Backpacker Stove was released. The backpacker stove's lightweight and compact design updated its concept and became a bestseller, acclaimed by mountain explorers and adventurers from all over the world.

Production in Japan began in 1994.
It was produced in Japan with high safety and functionality that only MADE IN JAPAN can achieve and continues to this day.
