I thought so, but then the only way you can tackle the problem is to change spessore with shape (or type) and saying something like "we shape out your needs" / we provide shapes for your needs or something like that

agree  Valeria Faber: regarding new information given by Jules, this sounds as best to me by now

  -> thanks
disagree  Nicole Johnson: I disagree...I don't see how the word "needs" can be modified by the adjectives thick or thin. In English it doesn't make sense.

we take care of you through thick and thin


Explanation:
Jules,

As far as the we take care of you part, obviously you can adapt it to fit the rest of the context. However, I think the "through thick and thin" would help you maintain the play on words here.

Some other options for phrasing:

We're with you through thick and thin.
We'll be there through thick and thin.
Through thick and thin, we are there for you.

Etc...
