What Is Mann Co?

Mann Co. products, at least those promoted to low-end markets (especially to employees), have a reputation for quality and safety issues. Products tend to break down, catch on fire (although Saxton Hale claimed that that's how he knows the products are working), and melt into people's skulls.

Mann Co. went "online" after Saxton Hale discovered the existence of the Internet when 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 venture. The Mann Co. Store was created as well – a way for customers to buy hats, weapons, bundles, and other miscellaneous items for real currency.
