What Vink does

Vink König Deutschland GmbH (operating as Vink or Vink König) is a German B2B wholesaler of semi-finished plastic products, headquartered in Gilching and founded in 1954. The company distributes plastic sheets (PMMA, polycarbonate, PVC, PE, PP, PTFE, PA, PEEK, PVDF, PET, POM, HPL, and composite/aluminum panels), solid and hollow rods, multi-wall and corrugated roofing sheets, and complete piping systems including fittings and valves. Its portfolio spans both branded products from third-party manufacturers (LEXAN, SIMONA, GEHR, GF, Trovidur, Polystone, Plaskolite, Exolon, etalbond) and proprietary own-brands (CRYLON, OPTIX, Satinglas, Setacryl, Foamlite).

Beyond distribution, Vink operates in-house fabrication services including CNC milling and turning, edge processing, precision drilling, custom cutting, thermoplastic bending, and full assembly of plastic subassemblies. These services are delivered through at least eight branch locations across Germany (Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Cologne, Nuremberg, Esslingen, Freiburg, Emmerich), each staffed with local sales teams providing technical consultation. The company also runs a B2B e-commerce online shop with account-based pricing, Click & Collect pickup at branches, and Just-In-Time delivery.

The business model is B2B wholesale with two revenue streams: one-time product sales (materials) and processing-fee revenue from custom fabrication services. Customers operate in three primary verticals: the construction industry (roofing, cladding, HPL, piping systems), the advertising industry (transparent and colored plastics for signage and displays), and industrial manufacturing (precision-machined engineering plastic components). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; buyers must register for an account to view prices. The company also operates REVINK, a sustainability and circular-economy initiative focused on recycling and reusing plastic materials. Headcount is reported in the 501–1,000 range, and the company is privately owned with no disclosed parent company or institutional investors.

Regional players

• Plastics International: US-based plastics distributor focused on engineering and high-performance plastic shapes. Same product formats and industrial customer base as Vink, but North American scope.
• Piedmont Plastics: North American distributor of plastic sheets, rods, tubes, and film with branch-based service and fabrication. Comparable business model to Vink but operates in a different geography.

Broad incumbents

• Röchling SE & Co. KG: Large German industrial group with significant plastics processing and semi-finished products divisions. Overlaps with Vink on plastics products but operates at much greater scale across automotive, industrial, and medical end-markets.

Direct peers

• Ultrapolymers Group: Pan-European polymer distributor serving injection molding, extrusion, and compounding customers. Similar role as an intermediary between resin producers and downstream converters.
• Distrupol: European plastics distributor of thermoplastic resins and compounds across multiple end-markets. Comparable wholesale-led business model, though focused on raw polymers rather than semi-finished parts.
• SIMONA AG: German manufacturer of semi-finished thermoplastics (sheets, rods, pipes, profiles) sold into construction, chemical, and advertising applications. Highly comparable to Vink on product format, material focus, and German industrial customer base.
• Resinex: European distributor of plastics, rubbers, and specialty chemicals serving converters across multiple countries. Operates the same kind of multi-supplier, multi-country B2B distribution business.
• Ensinger GmbH: German-based processor and distributor of engineering plastics (semi-finished products, machined parts, profiles). Closely mirrors Vink's combined distribution-plus-fabrication model serving industrial and construction customers.
• K.D. Feddersen Holding: German-based plastics distribution and compounding group serving injection molders and extrusion converters across Europe. Highly comparable wholesale-plus-technical-services model to Vink.

Emerging players

• GEHR Kunststoffwerk: German manufacturer of plastic semi-finished products (rods, sheets, profiles) in engineering polymers. Functions both as a Vink supplier brand and as a competitor on directly-sold semi-finished parts.
