Ruud Vink – Independent Specialist in Commercial Vehicle Accessories

With over 35 years of experience in the automotive sector, I’m a trusted contact for companies active in the world of vans, pick-ups, special vehicles, and their associated accessories and interior solutions. I support entrepreneurs, purchasers, and developers with advice, product selection, and market insights.

My strength lies in thinking along quickly, making connections, and offering practical solutions. Thanks to my broad network – built up during the growth of my previous automotive accessories business – I often have the right answer quickly, or I know exactly where to find it.

From Idea to Production

When projects go beyond advice, I work closely with factories in countries like Turkey and the Far East. These are trusted partners for design, prototyping, and production. This means I can not only offer guidance but also help bring ideas to life – from concept to finished product.

How Can I Help You?

• Independent advice on van accessories, pick-ups, and special vehicles

• Sparring partner for market trends, suppliers, or product ranges

• Support in product development or purchasing decisions

• Thinking along with start-ups, scale-ups, and established brands

Plastics Development as a New Passion

No, I’m not done with entrepreneurship. In addition to consulting, I actively develop products using ABS plastics, through vacuum forming and 3D techniques. I apply this knowledge to my own projects and to companies looking for innovative solutions.

I’m Not in It for the Money (Anymore)

At 61, I’m at a stage in life where enjoying my work and creating meaningful collaborations are most important. I enjoy brainstorming, developing ideas, and building something great together. If it results in a product? We’ll see.

What Does It Cost?
At the very least – a good cup of coffee.

Let’s Connect

Have an idea, product question, or want to brainstorm about accessories or product development?
I’m happy to listen and think along – quickly, concretely, and without hassle.
