Ruud Vink – Independent Specialist in Light Commercial Vehicle Accessories
With over 35 years of experience in the automotive sector, I am a trusted point of contact for companies active in the world of vans, pick-ups, special vehicles, and related accessories and interior solutions. I support entrepreneurs, buyers and developers with advice, product selection and market insights.
My strength lies in thinking along quickly, connecting and offering solutions. Thanks to my extensive network—built during the development of my previous company in automotive accessories—I often have the right answer quickly, or know exactly where to find it.
From Idea to Production
When projects move beyond consulting, I work closely with factories in Turkey and the Far East. These long-term partners support design, prototyping and production. This allows me not only to advise, but also to help realise products—from the initial idea to the final result.
What Can I Help You With?
- Independent advice on van accessories, pick-ups and special vehicles
- Sparring about market trends, suppliers or product ranges
- Guidance in product development or purchasing decisions
- Supporting start-ups, scale-ups and established brands
Plastic Product Development as a New Passion
No, I am not done with entrepreneurship yet. Alongside my consulting work, I am actively developing products in ABS plastic, using vacuum forming and 3D technologies. I apply this knowledge to my own projects and to companies seeking innovative solutions.
I Don’t Do This for the Money (Anymore)
At 61, I am in a stage of life where enjoyment in my work and meaningful collaborations come first. I enjoy brainstorming with people, developing ideas and building something valuable together. If a product eventually comes out of that? We will see.
What does it cost? At least a good cup of coffee.
Want to Brainstorm?
Do you have an idea, a product question, or simply want to exchange thoughts about accessories or product development?
I’m happy to listen and think along—quick, practical and without fuss.
