Mann Co. is a division of TF Industries. Originally founded by Zepheniah Mann, Mann Co. was later given to; Barnabas Hale, as stated in his last will and testament. The company is currently run by Barnabas' descendant; Saxton Hale, who operates under the policy that if you aren't 100% satisfied with their product line, you can take it up with him. They also publish Dapper Rogue, a catalog for the "gentleman scoundrel", of which the Spy takes interest in. The Administrator has been known to make use of Mann Co. for custom orders via Miss Pauling. They were also the subject of two Senate investigations, one in relation to their alleged part in the tragic destruction of American monkeynaut Poopy Joe's capsule during takeoff and the other in relation to teaching boys aged 6-16, among other things: moral turpitude, arson, vandalism, hippie assault, tax fraud, at-home laryngectomies, car theft, gorilla slaughter, and the Heimlich Maneuver (which had just been invented and was still considered controversial).

Mann Co. went "online" in the Mann-Conomy Update when Saxton Hale discovered the existence of the Internet after one of his employees, who was losing a fight against a gorilla during "Gorilla Wrestling Fridays", asked for his mother to be notified by email. Saxton Hale currently owns England due to the Internet, and the Mann Co. Store was created as well – a way for people to buy and sell hats, weapons, bundles, and other Miscellaneous items with actual, real world cash.

In more recent times, the company served the Badlands and ran The Zepheniah Mann & Sons Co. Quarterly Concern, a "compendium of broad swords, musket guns and doomsday weaponry for immediate sale" – a pamphlet of no small interest to the Soldier.

Trivia

Mann Co. was first introduced into the Team Fortress universe on May 15, 2009 when Spy Update day 4 was released on 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 has a black belt in Larate.
"Mann Co." also has gone by the name of "Zepheniah Mann & Sons Co." and "Mann & Sons Munitions Concerns".
