Mann Co. is a division of TF Industries. Originally founded by Zepheniah Mann, it was left to his Australian aide and tracker Barnabas Hale in his final will and testament under the name 'Mann & Sons Munitions Concern'. The company is currently run by Barnabas' descendant Saxton Hale, who operates on the policy that if you aren't 100% satisfied with their product line, you can take it up with him. They published the 'Dapper Rogue' catalogue for the "gentleman scoundrel", of which the Spy is a purveyor. The Administrator is also known to make use of Mann Co. for custom orders via Miss Pauling. They were also the subject of a senate investigation in relation to their alleged part in the tragic destruction of American monkeynaut Poopy Joe's capsule during takeoff, which their lawyers firmly deny.
Mann Co. went online in the Mann-Conomy Update when Saxton Hale discovered the Internet as one of his employees was brutally killed by a gorilla. Mann Co. currently owns England due to the Internet, and the Mann Co. Store was created as well, a way for people to buy hats, weapons, bundles, and other Miscellaneous items with actual cash.
Mann Co. was originally founded as Zepheniah Mann & Sons Co in 1850, serving the Badlands. In days gone by the company ran the Quarterly Concern, "a compendium of broad swords, musket gonnes and domesday weaponry for immediate sale", a tome of no small interest to the Soldier.

Trivia
- Mann Co. was first introduced into the TF universe on May 15, 2009 when Spy Update Day 4 was released in the Team Fortress 2 Blog.
- According to A Visual History as well as Bidwell's Big Plan, Mann Co. products tend to break down, catch on fire (although Saxton Hale claims that that's how he knows the products are working), and melt into people's skulls.
- Saxton Hale claims in the same comic that he makes square, unsafe products for men, at least until he finds the 'iBlewUptheMoon' item.
- Rick, the Adventure Sphere from Portal 2 claims he's a black belt in Larate.
- At the turn of the century, Mann Co. went by the name of Mann & Sons Munitions Concerns.
