The toy producer Brio has announced it will implement a plan aiming at reducing costs by SEK 80 million as from 2007. Some 100 jobs will be cut as result of this plan, among which 70 in Sweden. The 70 lay-offs in Sweden include 38 jobs at the factory in Killeberg, which closure is part of the cost-reducing plan.
