Our Story
Epic Armoury is owned by Iron Fortress and was originally founded in 2008 by the owners of two Danish hobby chain stores. Both store chains were challenged by the lack of availability of quality LARP products and decided to begin manufacturing on their own. This rapidly evolved into a company that did not only deliver products for the Danish market, but to the entire world. The owners are still the same and with us today.
We operate out of a Danish office and warehouse. We also have Epic Armoury branches around the world that are all run by local companies. They work as our extension through the world and provide customers with our LARP brands locally.
The Craftsmanship
We generate designs with functionality, creativity, and safety in mind. Once a product is developed at our studio in Copenhagen, we send it to our production team for counter sampling. We work closely together, ensuring that every design upholds the Epic standard for quality and craftsmanship. Most of our products are handmade, which adds that extra unique layer to each individual item.
Our Mission
Our growing selection of innovative and high quality products for the Live Action Role Play and medieval community are designed to inspire epic adventures for all. We strive to encourage a business culture which attracts and nourishes individuals who are energetic, committed, and who have a passion for our business and hobby.
By offering dedicated service and accessible products, we aspire to always increase value for our customers, partners, and enthusiasts around the globe.
Our Vision
We aim to be the worldwide preferred brand for Live Action Role Players, medieval enthusiasts, and the film and theatre industry.
