New THORNICO brochure
Imagine a multidimensional spider’s web in the early morning covered with dew drops. In every dew drop you see the reflection of all the other dew drops.
Imagine a multidimensional spider’s web in the early morning covered with dew drops. In every dew drop you see the reflection of all the other dew drops. And in each reflected dew drop, you see all the reflections of the other dew drops. And so ad infinitum.
That is the philosophical conception of the universe in an image called Indra’s Net, used among others by Alan Watts to describe the interconnectedness and interdependency of everything and everyone. We formed THORNICO in the imagery of this spider’s web; Now a global net of over 157 companies in more than 50 countries, interconnected with each other and their surroundings, creating something more than just the sum of the individual parts - and in this a billion dollar business.
We operate in a diverse business portfolio, striving to create synergy between our businesses and our people. From our vast real estate business merging concrete with nature in the urban environment; our pioneering experience with natural and functional ingredients as well as the handling and processing equipment designed for this; our solid and reliable shipping services; our sustainable packaging products and machinery, our investments in innovative and cutting-edge business solutions, and our creative design and manufacturing of sports & fashion apparel and footwear. And as our business keeps growing, we continuously add new dew drops, expanding our THORNICO Spider’s Web.
In the THORNICO group of companies, we see our interconnectedness as an opportunity to draw us closer to the people we work with, to ‘tear down silos’ and to think more holistically. We call this our Company Karma philosophy; our mantra on doing good whilst doing business. As a core value in our company culture, we believe that positive actions will send positive ripples across the infinite net, touching every dew drop, every company, every colleague on its way. In a cohesive world, this can act as a never-ending spiral of positive change.
Welcome to the THORNICO World.
