One of the standout features of the new packaging is its visual representation of nature’s beauty – mirroring the transition from the lush green of grass to the vast expanse of blue sky. This gradient embodies the essence of DLF’s Masterline® mixtures, which are expertly crafted to transform landscapes and sporting facilities into vibrant, healthy green spaces that evoke tranquillity and support first-class performance.

“We are thrilled to start production with our fresh packaging for the Masterline® pro-turf mixtures” said Derek Smith, Amenity Sales & Marketing Manager at DLF. “The new design not only captures the essence of our products but has a strong visual connection to DLF’s corporate identity. We believe that this update will resonate with our customers and further enhance their experience with our products.”

In line with the new packaging design, DLF has made the strategic decision to drop the original crown logo, symbolising a bold step towards modernity and a fresh identity that reflects the company’s forward-thinking approach.

Masterline® seed mixtures are trusted by turf managers and professional landscapers alike for their superior quality and performance. For more information about the range, please visit www.dlf.co.uk.

Chris Buck, Product Manager at EGO, said: “Garden and groundscare professionals need heavier-duty electric tools that have the power to work all day and the durability to last for years. Our new Pro X range brings the benefits of battery power to a market segment that until now has had to rely on petrol tools – that is no longer the case.”

Both models come with a rear-geared motor and are compatible with all portable EGO ARC Lithium batteries. They feature a carbon fibre drive shaft that reduces weight while maintaining stability and strength. They are compatible with EGO’s metal brush cutter blades and its Rotocut attachment for the toughest of tasks.

Ease of operation and user comfort are assured through features such as the three working speed modes with a variable speed trigger allowing for maximum control for any task, adjustable harness points and tool-free handle adjustment.

The new STX4500 grass trimmer with loop handle is the ideal choice for landscapers, facilities managers and municipal users. EGO’s Rapid Reload head and 2.7mm twist line is simple to load with line when empty, reducing downtime in the field.

Alternatively, the BCX4500 brush cutter with ergonomic bike handles is perfectly balanced for extended use and enables the user to cover a wide area with ease. The controls are conveniently positioned on the handle and include both battery life and speed indicators.

Both tools are part of the new PRO X series of hard-wearing and powerful tools for professionals, which also includes a lawn mower, chainsaw, hedge trimmers and our next-generation PGX battery charging solution.
