Epoca International Celebrates 25th Anniversary

Boca Raton, FL – January 30, 2017

Housewares manufacturer Epoca International has reached a milestone this year, celebrating 25 years of business. Since the company’s inception, Epoca International has enjoyed tremendous growth, a testament to their focus on manufacturing quality products, customer satisfaction and strong relationships with its retail partners.

In 1991, CEO/founder Steven Melzer set out with a vision to create a family of lifestyle brands in the housewares industry, offering an innovative array of quality products that are responsibly manufactured. Over the past 25 years, Epoca International has successfully fulfilled that by pioneering several consumer brands and high quality eco-friendly products.

In 2003, the company’s trajectory was propelled further with the joining of its current President, Brian Melzer. With his focus on brand building and product innovation for Epoca’s flagship offerings, Ecolution Cookware and Primula Beverage Products, Epoca’s retail distribution was expanded.  

In the most recent years, Epoca’s further growth has included the licensing of Cooking Light kitchenware; opening a series of global operations offices in China; and an expanded employee base including merchandisers, product developers, sales directors, graphic designers, and marketers. The influx of employees prompted the corporate headquarters to move to a larger, state-of-the-art office facility in Boca Raton, FL. 

“Epoca means ‘new era’, a phrase as appropriate for our business today as it was on the day we began,” said Brian Melzer, President. “We have achieved this through the hard work and dedication of our employees and partners, and look forward to continued success as we celebrate this milestone,” continued Steven Melzer, CEO of Epoca International.

Epoca International continues to innovate their product lines, as well as offer new and exciting products to the marketplace. All of Epoca’s new and existing product offerings can be seen at the upcoming 2017 International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago, IL from March 18-21 in booth number S1657.
