Why Plastics are Essential for Lawn, Garden & Snow Equipment

Plastic is no longer viewed as a secondary material for outdoor equipment. Instead, it has become a primary solution because it combines design flexibility with long-term durability. In applications ranging from lawnmower housings and chutes to snow blower handles and irrigation fittings, plastics provide unique advantages:

• Lightweight strength: Reduces operator fatigue while maintaining structural integrity.

• Corrosion resistance: Withstands water, fertilizers, salt, and other environmental exposures.

• Design flexibility: Enables complex shapes, ergonomic handles, and over-molded grips.

• Cost efficiency: Supports high-volume production with consistent quality and lower overall costs.

• Aesthetic appeal: Allows for decorative housings, covers, and bezels that improve product appearance and branding.

At ESP, our expertise in resin selection and process optimization ensures that each part meets the specific demands of its environment — from hot, humid summers to icy winter conditions.
