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.
Mann Co. was originally founded as Zepheniah Mann & Sons Co. 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.
