What Epic Solutions does

Epic Solutions, Inc. is a Fargo, North Dakota-based private manufacturer of specialized road construction, pavement marking, and roadway safety equipment, founded in 2015 and operating with 11-50 employees. The company designs and sells a broad portfolio of capital equipment for road striping contractors, municipalities, and departments of transportation, organized into several product families: thermoplastic application equipment (ThermoMark handliners, FastMelt melting kettles, and trailers), pavement marking tape applicators and removers (TA5000, DTA5000, Side Winder/Mid-Winder/Mini-Winder), methyl methacrylate (MMA) striping systems (Epic MMA-Mark 98:2 and 1:1 ratio configurations, MMA 2000 push cart, MMA 4000 Road Pak, and a Pressurized Bead System), Zirocco jet dryers, and dust collection systems. The company also sells a "Road Automation Machinery" (RAM) line that automates high-risk roadway tasks, including the patent-pending Cone Setter CS 3100, Cone Retriever CR 3200, and TPM 2100/2200 marker applicator and remover, designed to keep workers inside the truck cab.

The company's differentiating technology centers on the M7 Data Logging System (DLS), a patent-pending weight-based material measurement platform that uses load cells to record actual material usage in real time, integrated with GPS, a linear laser stroke sensor (accurate within 2-3 skips versus 10-15 skips for standard stroke systems), and a patented pressure sensor analyzer for thermoplastic trucks. Surrounding the M7 is a fleet and asset management stack (EPIC Works GPS Tracking, RTU Road Tracing Unit, GPS Sign Inventory, WS2000 Weather Station, and snow/ice and grader tracking modules) that captures operational, environmental, and asset-inventory data for compliance documentation, including MUTCD retro-reflectivity requirements. The company also offers custom programming and product design services covering AutoCAD, 3D SolidWorks, PLC and HMI programming, and database development.

Epic Solutions monetizes primarily through direct hardware sales of quote-priced equipment systems, parts and consumables (including authorized dealer relationships for Graco and Titan), authorized warranty service for Graco and Titan product lines, and custom programming/design services for industrial customers. The go-to-market combines direct sales from headquarters, a website product catalog with YouTube demonstration content, authorized dealer channels (Royal Truck Equipment in the U.S., Renovaurb in Brazil for RAM products, Smith Manufacturing for cutters/grinders, and EasyLux for retroreflectometers), and authorized service-center relationships. Pricing is uniformly quote-based with no public list prices, and billing is structured around multi-year equipment contracts. Key named customers include Griffin Pavement Striping, Inc. (a 10+ year enterprise relationship) and United Rentals Highway Technologies. The company is founder-controlled under CEO Jeff Wilkens, with no documented external funding, acquisitions, or ownership changes.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Graco Inc. Graco manufactures LineLazer and RoadLazer pavement-marking equipment — the same product category Epic Solutions competes in. Notably, Graco is also one of Epic's key authorized-dealer principals, making it both a competitor and a channel partner.
• Titan Tool (Wagner): Titan produces airless sprayers and pavement-striping equipment that competes directly with Epic's thermoplastic and MMA systems. Epic also operates as an authorized Titan service center, creating the same competitor-and-partner dynamic as with Graco.
• M-B Companies, Inc. M-B Companies is a U.S. manufacturer of truck-mounted and walk-behind pavement-marking equipment. Direct overlap with Epic's thermoplastic, paint, and tape-applicator product lines serving the same striping contractor and DOT customers.
• Borum International A/S: Borum is a Danish manufacturer of road-marking machines for thermoplastic, cold paint, and preformed tape applications. Closest international direct peer in the same specialized road-marking equipment category.
• EZ-Liner Industries: EZ-Liner designs and manufactures pavement-marking and road-maintenance equipment including striping systems and pre-marking trucks — directly comparable to Epic's striping truck, tape applicator, and road-pre-marking products.
• Hofmann Marking Systems: Hofmann manufactures thermoplastic road-marking equipment, preheaters, and screed boxes. Closely comparable to Epic's FastMelt, ThermoMark, and screed/die product lines serving the same striping vertical.
• STiM Group: STiM Group produces self-propelled and truck-mounted road-marking machines and pre-marking equipment. Direct peer in the same specialized road-marking equipment niche with similar DOT and contractor end customers.

Broad incumbents

• 3M (Transportation Safety Division): 3M's Transportation Safety Division supplies pavement marking tapes, retroreflective sheeting, and road-safety products. Overlaps with Epic's tape-equipment and retroreflectometer lines and competes in the same DOT specification-driven procurement channel.
• Roadtec (Astec Industries): Roadtec manufactures asphalt pavers, milling machines, and material transfer vehicles — broader road construction equipment that competes for the same DOT and contractor capital budgets, though it does not specialize in pavement marking.
• Caterpillar Inc. Caterpillar is a broad construction-equipment incumbent whose road-building machinery (motor graders, compactors) addresses the same municipal and contractor customers, but at a much larger and more diversified scale than Epic's pavement-marking focus.
