The acquisition also includes the company Alga, the Swedish market leader in board games.
Ravensburger is known to consumers as a board game and puzzle company, as well as a book publisher. The acquisition will enable the Ravensburger Group to strengthen its position as a toy company.
Brio’s product range comprises more than 200 items, and the brand plays a major role in the infant and pre-school categories. Its wooden toys include train sets and design classics, such as the pull-along dachshund and stacking clowns.
