The Story of EPD International

EPD International's journey began with a simple yet bold idea from one of its founders in 2019, who envisioned revolutionizing the B2C and B2B market. The company, originally named VIRLES, started as a small venture with both founders working primarily from home. In those early days, the two handled every aspect of the business themselves— from product sourcing and logistics to customer service. Despite the modest setup, their unwavering dedication and entrepreneurial spirit laid the foundation for something much bigger.

As the company’s reputation grew and more clients began to take notice, it became clear that the demand for their products and services was outpacing their small, home-based operation. This prompted the addition of a third person to help manage the increasing workload. Together, the small but ambitious team worked tirelessly to professionalize and expand their offerings, quickly gaining momentum in the competitive B2C and B2B space.

By 2021, the company had outgrown its origins and made the strategic decision to relocate its headquarters to the Czech Republic. This move marked a turning point, enabling VIRLES—now rebranded as EPD International—to better access the wider European market and streamline operations. The transition allowed the company to scale, setting the stage for rapid growth and establishing itself as a significant player on the global stage.

As the team continued to grow, a fourth team member was brought on to focus on development, further enhancing the company’s supply chain capabilities. EPD International soon evolved into a full-scale operation, with tens of employees managing a highly functional depot and modern office space in the Czech Republic. This expanded workforce, equipped with specialized knowledge in areas such as sales, logistics, and customer service, allowed the company to meet the increasing demand from clients around the world.

Today, EPD International stands as one of the most respected names in the global B2C and B2B market, recognized for its seamless logistics, competitive pricing, and customer-first approach. From its humble beginnings as VIRLES, run by two entrepreneurs working from home, to becoming a global leader, EPD International continues to provide tailored solutions that cater to the diverse needs of its international client base. The company’s story is a testament to the power of innovation, strategic thinking, and relentless commitment to growth.
