Why Thermory: Perfected Process

Why choose Thermory? It’s not just wood, it’s a revolution.

We are passionate about creating products that embody both quality and sustainability. With over 20 years of experience in perfecting thermal modification technology, we are proud to offer wood that stands the test of time. But what makes us truly unique is not just the advanced technology we use—it’s the people behind the process, the culture we cultivate, and our unwavering commitment to responsibility. Let’s dive into how Thermory’s perfected process sets us apart, and how our team of dedicated professionals is helping shape the future of wood innovation.

A Refined Process, Powered by Technology and Passion

Thermal modification is a precise art that requires both expertise and cutting-edge technology. At Thermory, we ensure the highest quality standards by leveraging state-of-the-art thermokilns and advanced monitoring systems. Our specialists meticulously oversee each batch of material, ensuring consistency and precision with every piece of wood we produce.

Over the years, we’ve honed our technology, refining the process to extend the lifespan and enhance the natural beauty of wood. Through thermal modification, we reduce the wood’s moisture content and improve its stability, making it more durable and resistant to environmental challenges. Whether you’re building a deck, cladding a building, or designing outdoor spaces, Thermory wood offers long-lasting performance with a rich, natural aesthetic.

A Culture of Innovation and Collaboration

Behind our technical prowess is a company culture that fosters continuous improvement. We believe that innovation doesn’t just happen in a lab—it happens in the minds of our people. That’s why we’ve implemented a unique system to encourage employee-driven innovation.

In 2022, we introduced a QR-based improvement suggestions system at our Estonian facilities, where around 75% of our workforce operates. This system empowers every employee to submit their ideas for improving operations, which helps us streamline processes, enhance efficiency, and reduce waste. By encouraging a culture of continuous feedback and collaboration, we can create a work environment that prioritizes growth and development.

This initiative has been a huge success—by the end of 2023, 68% of the 1,124 suggestions from employees were implemented. This not only improves our internal processes but also ensures that we maintain our commitment to sustainability and responsibility at every step of production.

Employee Advocacy and Satisfaction

We believe that happy employees create happy customers. This is why we place such a strong emphasis on employee satisfaction and well-being. At Thermory, our staff members are encouraged to participate in shaping the company’s future through regular feedback surveys. Since 2021, we’ve conducted annual surveys to gauge employee satisfaction on topics ranging from leadership and mental health to trust and workplace culture.

Our efforts have paid off—employee satisfaction at Thermory has consistently reached 85%, with a particular focus on fostering transparency, trust, and a healthy work-life balance. Additionally, Thermory’s commitment to employee advocacy and satisfaction has created a loyal and engaged workforce, who are the backbone of our perfected process.

Sustainability Efforts and Achievements 

Sustainability is at the heart of Thermory’s mission. We’ve made significant strides in reducing our carbon footprint while maintaining the highest quality standards. In 2023 alone, we reduced our overall emissions by 12%, and we are committed to going even further.

One of the key aspects of our sustainability efforts is our focus on reducing non-hazardous waste. Unlike alternative materials like impregnated woods or bamboo composites—often treated with toxic chemicals—Thermory wood is completely non-toxic, making it safe for both workers and the environment. We’re also proud to report that the sawdust produced during manufacturing is safe and can be reused or responsibly disposed of, further minimizing our environmental impact.

Looking to the future, we are committed to achieving 100% green electricity across all our locations, powering our operations with renewable energy for electricity, heating, and machinery. Our ongoing efforts to monitor and reduce CO2 emissions are part of our long-term strategy to build a more sustainable and responsible future for the industry.

Proven Durability, Stability, and Quality

Through our thermal modification process, Thermory wood is not only beautiful—it’s built to last.

Durability: Our thermal modification process extends the lifespan of the wood to over 20 years, unlike surface-treated materials that may lose their protective properties over time. Thermory wood remains stable and resilient, even in the harshest climates, making it a top choice for both residential and commercial projects worldwide.

Stability: Thermal modification significantly improves the stability of the wood, reducing bending and warping that often occur with other materials. Our wood has been put to the test in extreme environments, like the HAUS5 project in the Sonora Desert, where it thrives in extreme heat, showcasing its exceptional stability.

Advanced Technology: We continue to invest in advanced technology to ensure that our production process remains at the cutting edge. Our multi-head molders, precision-controlled X-ray machines, and CNC automated arms enable us to maintain the highest standards of quality, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.

Looking to the Future

We are just getting started. Our goal is to continue making energy-efficient improvements across our operations and work toward becoming 100% renewable in every aspect of our energy use—from electricity to heating to machinery. We are excited about the future and the continued opportunities to make a lasting, positive impact on the environment.
