The outdoor equipment market continues to see consistent growth as more consumers embrace active, outdoor lifestyles with their families, friends, and pets. While this offers exciting opportunities for businesses, it can also lead to steep competition. For brands hoping to launch or scale products in this space, having the right manufacturing partner is critical to success.

At Pilgrim Harp, we understand what it takes to bring high-performance outdoor gear to market. We specialize in helping businesses navigate the challenges of material selection, product durability, and efficient production—all while maintaining the quality that today’s consumers demand. With extensive experience in developing rugged and weather-resistant products, we’re here to support your journey from concept to production and delivery.

Manufacturing Services for Outdoor Equipment

Equipment used in wilderness settings, on the water, or in extreme weather conditions must be manufactured with precision and built to endure. At Pilgrim Harp, we partner with trusted global factories to deliver manufacturing services tailored to the outdoor recreation market. From marine gear to trail-ready tools, we understand the design priorities that come with different outdoor products.

Whether you need corrosion-resistant finishes or UV-stable plastics, we’ve got you covered, with access to more than 2,000 material options ranging from common metals to exotic composites. These options are categorized as follows:

  • Metals. Stainless steel, low-carbon steel, aluminum, brass, beryllium copper, phosphor bronze, nickel silver, and superalloys.
  • Non-metals. ABS, acetal, polyester, nylon, MD nylon, polycarbonate, fiberglass, polyethylene, and NEMA-grade laminates.

Regardless of your specific needs, our engineering and production experts will collaborate with your team to select the best materials and processes for your particular product and environment.

Pilgrim Harp’s Capabilities for Outdoor Equipment

Pilgrim Harp offers full-spectrum support for outdoor product manufacturing, from early prototyping to turnkey assembly. Unlike general product development companies, we work exclusively with partners who have extensive experience in outdoor and recreational equipment. This added expertise helps accelerate time to market while reducing the risk of costly revisions or rework.

Our process is all-encompassing, as we bring together designers, engineers, and factory partners in one seamless workflow. This allows us to deliver consistent quality, tight tolerances, and cost-effective results at every stage. Our capabilities include:

  • Machining. We’re experienced in CNC turning, Swiss turning, single and multi-spindle work, and fabrication of tight-tolerance components.
  • Materials expertise. We can work with aluminum alloys, brass, carbon steels, tool steels, stainless steels, Delrin, nylon, and other specialty materials.
  • Post-machining processes. We offer a range of post-machining services like plating, painting, anodizing, honing, welding, and grinding, as well as chem film, heat treating, and non-destructive testing.
  • Assembly & packaging. We offer complete product assembly, custom packaging, and turnkey solutions for seamless packaging and fulfillment.
