About us:The company:We have been producing anatomical grips for sport pistols since 1995. In the early stages we only produced custom grips for local customers. Very soon we were able to convince customers living outside of Germany of our wide range of standard grips and our innovative adjustable palm rest. In the meantime dealers from nearly all continents are distributing our grips. Marksmen from countries around the globe come to us to have their perfect grip fitted. Our move into the new workshop in Bechlingen (district of Asslar) in 2004 enabled us to expand our production to the increasing demand and to offer our customers more suitable premises for the fitting of custom made grips. Once a year, on the occasion of the German Championships, we also “pitch our tents” in Munich. There we present our product range in our service-trailer and offer our services from grip modifications to fittings for custom made grips.
Our staff: We employ two highly skilled carpenters on full-time, one part-time assistant for wood cutting and as the homes cheerful spirit, Sonja Rink is responsible for accountancy, assembly of the grips and the entire shipment.
Our man in charge: After finishing school Thomas Rink completed an apprenticeship as a carpenter. Thereafter he committed himself to the German armed forces for twelve years, during which he served in the armored infantry, the paratroopers division and the “Sportgruppe Heer” (German Armed Forces sports supporting group / division firearms). During his time on the army athletic team, he took part in in two military-world championships and various country tournaments, firing large caliber sport pistols. During this time, he also served as instructor to the German Armed Forces sports supporting group, for pistol disciplines. After finishing his period of service he passed a pursuing education as wood technician. Topic of his thesis was: “Production of custom grips for sport pistols with usage of CNC manufacturing systems”. This paved the way for founding the company “Rink-Formgriffe”.

Except for one break, he was an active member of the national team until 1994, where he took part in various World and European Championships, as well as World Cups. Among his greatest athletic achievements, we can mention 2nd place in the German National Championship of 1993 with the free pistol, as well as winning the German National Champion title with the sporting pistol in the years 2004, 2007, 2009 and 2010 for his home athletic club Schützencorps Klein-Altenstädten.
