History

Aspiring to start their own business, engineers John Schott and Matt Quinn set out in 1995 to develop the framework for, EPIC Systems, Incorporated.

Short for Electrical, Process, Instrumentation and Controls Systems, EPIC has successfully taken shape over the last 15 years due to the hands-on experience earned by Schott and Quinn during their time as plant management engineers. The St. Louis natives have always cared about American manufacturing and have seen how the country has lost much of its manufacturing base to overseas operations. Today, the entire team at EPIC remains committed to delivering engineered solutions to keep Moving American Manufacturing Forward.History of EPIC Systems, Inc.

The partners started EPIC Systems with just $1,000 of personal savings and 600 sq ft of rented office space. Schott and Quinn provided consulting and design engineering services to companies across many manufacturing industries. During the early years, EPIC welcomed its first employees and worked toward growth while never losing sight of the Founding Principles set forth by Schott and Quinn from the beginning. These Principles continue to guide the loyal relationships formed and the way we conduct business today.

As EPIC grew, the firm's engineering capabilities expanded beyond consulting and design to include in-house fabrication and construction management services. Specialized groups were formed so that EPIC's engineers could focus on emerging technologies, industries and manufacturing applications.

The first group within EPIC Systems, EPIC Line Integration became the backbone of the company as many early projects showcased innovative controls engineering.

EPIC Modular Process Systems formed to manage and oversee the complete design and in-house fabrication of multi-scale plants and systems for process manufacturing. In order to best serve our clients with practical, integrated discrete systems, EPIC Custom Machines and EPIC Vision Solutions groups were formed.

In 2005, ten years after opening the doors, the EPIC Systems team moved into an expanded 40,000 sq ft facility in St. Louis, Missouri. The state of the art space features two separate machine shops in-house: one for stainless steel fabrication and an isolated shop for carbon steel fabrication, in addition to 60,000 sq ft of extra shop space to accommodate for larger-scale applications.

We are proud of our history and how far we've come in the last 15 years.

EPIC is excited about the future and we invite clients and guests to visit our facilities to learn even more about us. Visit our location section to find directions or contact an engineer today.
