'''Mann Co.''', (Slogan: ''"We sell products and get in fights"'') 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 publish 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 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.
