Brio Toys
BRIO is a toy company that makes wooden toys founded inSweden. The company was founded in the small town of Boalt in 1884 by abasket maker.  For a long time the company was based in Osby  in southern Sweden. In 1908 Ivar's three sons took over and founded BRIO, which is an acronym for BRöderna ("the brothers") Ivarsson [at] Osby. 
BRIO is best known for theirwooden toy trains sold in Europe since 1958. Most are non-motorized and suitable for younger children. The cars connect with magnets and are easy to manipulate; in recent years, the range has been extended with battery powered, remote control, and 'intelligent track'-driven engines.  Many competitors make products that are compatible with BRIO. The high quality woods used and the Swedish manufacture make BRIO toys more durable than many other brands.
