From its core business in digital toys, Toca Boca’s ambition is to grow by broadening its brand in video and physical products.

Toca Boca started five years ago as a project out of Bonnier’s headquarters in Stockholm.

The buyer is Canadian toy and entertainment company Spin Master. Success story Toca Boca, which in five years has gone from idea to 140 million downloads of its digital toys, is getting a new owner.
