At the turn of the century, the nationally famous Finnish biscuits “Hangon Keksi” were packed in metal containers manufactured by Manner. Over the decades business activities have expanded into such fields as mechanical engineering, steel component production and metal casting. Castors made from sheet metal have been in production since the early 1950s. Castors were later selected as Manner’s core business area, and the first castors made from plastic raw materials were produced in the 1960s. Since 1974 castors have been Manner’s only product group. The present Managing Director, Mr. Tapio Manner, represents the fourth generation. Since the 1980s the company has concentrated on strengthening its own product family and expanding its activities in global markets.
