The brand EPIC stands for Explosion Protection Integrated Components and will be used globally. The brand and its new logo were first used at the International Powder & Bulk Solids show in Chicago this week.
“By establishing one primary brand for our explosion protection offering,” says Jim Morgan, Fike’s Director of Marketing, “Fike is better able to communicate how all our products work together to provide a complete solution.
