So what is Tørn?
In short: A marketplace where building materials and DIY retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers can sell their surplus and deadstock to consumers and small businesses.
Did you know that as much as 10% of product inventory for a building material and supply store remains unsold, and ends up as deadstock in the storage and ultimately gets thrown away? For an industry that sells for 60 Billion NOK yearly, this is a huge business and sustainability problem. We are on a mission to change that.
We launched in Norway in 2020, in Sweden in 2022 and are now getting ready to activate new European markets. Today our team counts 25 passionate people located in Oslo, Stockholm, Bergen, Alta, Ålesund and Berlin. In order to increase our impact we need you as an enthusiastic, curious and driver service designer to join us in scaling the impact.
