Brio

by Richard Mueller Jr.

Brio® Toys
Osby, Sweden
1884 - Present

Brio® Toys was founded by Ivar Bengtsson and then continued by his three sons. The name was arrived from Brothers Ivarsson at Osby. In 1977, Peter Reynolds brought Brio® Toys to America. Now Brio® Toys are now sold in over 35 countries.

From day one, Brio® Toys has maintained its standards of only selling high quality wooden toys that are safe, durable and open-ended. This is only a small sampling of their toys. We are featuring what we believe to be their earlier toys.
