The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Brio began in Sweden, in nineteen eleven. The company made wooden toys. They built trains that children could push and pull. The wooden rail system became their signature. It was simple. It was honest. It endured. Today Brio operates globally, selling in over sixty countries. The trains still move across floors in living rooms everywhere. Among tracked toy brands, Brio ranks sixteenth in the Baby, Kids & Toys category. The wood has never changed. Neither has the work.
