Fink GmbH & Co. KG

What Fink GmbH & Co. KG does

Fink GmbH & Co. KG (operating as Fink Living) is a German B2B wholesaler of exclusive home accessories, gift articles, and furniture, founded in 1984 by Henry W. Fink in Düsseldorf/Hilden and now headquartered in Bocholt, Germany. The company is a subsidiary of the GILDE Group (since 2000), legally structured as a GmbH & Co. KG registered in Coesfeld. Its product portfolio spans classic candlestick lines (AURA, KORINTH, MERKUR, SATURN, HIGHLIGHT, TOPLIGHT), the SENTADO upholstered furniture collection, the CARLO outdoor furniture line, lighting, high-quality artificial flowers, glass products (added through the 2006 STIL-GLAS fusion), and gift articles, all characterized by timeless design, silver-based precious metal craftsmanship, and handmade production in traditional manufactories. The company is purely a B2B wholesaler serving the European specialist retail trade exclusively, with no direct-to-consumer sales.

Revenue is generated through wholesale transactions with specialty stores, interior design shops, and home décor retailers, with prices quoted net ex warehouse plus VAT and tiered freight surcharges. Distribution is executed via in-house office sales staff, field sales representatives, a dedicated B2B online shop (shop.fink-living.de, relaunched 2019), showrooms in Bocholt and Ingolstadt, and a dropshipping service that delivers direct to end consumers on behalf of retail partners. Marketing and demand-generation rely on flagship European trade fair participation (Ambiente Frankfurt, Christmasworld, Trendset München) and appointment-based showroom consultation. The current managing directors are Georg Messing, Hamid Yazdtchi, Alexander Yazdtchi, and Maximilian Yazdtchi, with founder Henry W. Fink remaining involved in design advisory capacity after stepping back from daily operations in 2005.
