Answer» What is Thorntons mean? Thorntons Limited is a British chocolate manufacturer, which was established by Joseph William Thornton and his father, in 1911. The company was bought by the Italian firm Ferrero in June 2015 for £112m. Since Cadbury became part of the Mondelez International, Thorntons is the largest confectionery only parent company in Britain. It has established toffee and fudge lines, but after post war rationing ended, the group shifted its specialism into chocolate, especially its Continental, Swiss and Belgian chocolate sets, which form the bulk of sales. reference
