Founded in 2004, the company initially manufactured and sold kits for the Epic LT. Epic went through bankruptcy in 2009 before being purchased first by China Aviation Industry General Aircraft in 2010 and then Russian businessman Vladislav Filev – of S7 Airlines – in 2012. The manufacturer is now owned by Filev and his family through Cyprus-based MVF Key Investments Ltd.
In 2013, Epic stopped taking orders for LT kits to concentrate on the certification of the E1000, which is based upon the LT. The E1000's FAA certification was completed in November 2019.
