It was originally a brand in its own right, one of Gibson's competitors. 
Evidently they couldn't quite make make it after WWII and Gibson bought

Lately, Epiphone is a cheap Gibson clone made under contract at whatever 
far eastern factory will bid the lowest, although there are a few 
Epiphone models with no Gibson counterpart.
