Equine Connection

Welcome to Equine Connection, an online newsletter brought you by BioPlastics Company, manufacturer of genuine BioThane®. Equine Connection was designed to enhance communication with our Equine customers, and help your business grow!

Customers Seek Products That Last

The current economic downturn has affected the equestrian market more than any other past recessionary period. Therefore, while price is an important factor to your customers, value is even more critical. Customers are looking for products that will last.

BioPlastics’ Beta® series has revolutionized the equine market as an economical alternative to leather. Its soft-to-the-hand feel, low cost and durable and lightweight nature makes it ideal for lines, leads, bridles and more. We continue to see these features lead to increased sales of Beta products in all tack markets.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity for growth. Now is the time to offer your customers products made with our Beta series -- a solution that is both cost-effective and made to last. Contact your salesperson or distributor for more information.

You Asked for More . . . And We’ll Deliver

Due to the overwhelmingly positive customer response to BioPlastics Beta® series black web, we are now working on additional sizes, expected to be available this summer: 

  • Standard: 3/4” and 1” 
  • Super Heavy: 7/8” and 1 1/2” 
BioPlastics is the only manufacturer to offer this webbing solution, which provides a cleaner, more professional look to high-quality finished products.

Don’t Forget Your Hang Tags!

Complimentary BioThane® hang tags featuring the BioThane logo and phrase “Made with Genuine BioThane” are still available wherever you purchase BioThane. Large tags can be used for tack and harness products and small tags are great for dog collars and reins.
