History.
Europrop GmbH was established in 2002. One year after its inception, EPI GmbH with the TP400 was selected by Airbus Military to design the engine that was to power the A400M military Airbus. In 2004, work began on analyzing the engine design, with the initial ground tests taking place a year later. The first engine run with propeller took place in 2006, with the first flight of the TP400 aboard a testbed taking place in 2008.
The first flight of the A400M took place in 2009. Two years later the TP400 engine received EASA certification. The first engines were delivered in 2012. The French Air Force began using the A400M in 2013. The following year, the engine was delivered to a further three countries: Turkey, the United Kingdom and Germany. The year 2015 marked the first delivery to the Royal Malaysian Air Force, the first export customer for the A400M and TP400, and in 2016, the first delivery was made to the Spanish Air Force. 
In 2017, EPI GmbH signed a support contract with the Royal Malaysian Air Force, which was extended in 2019.
