On the first of March of 2005, Clifton Broumand and Geraldien de Louwere-Schasfoort registered Man & Machine Europe as branch office of Man & Machine Inc. at the local Chamber of Commerce in Haarlem, the Netherlands.
The following years were all about growth, product development, participating in trade shows, and expanding the team. Setting up alliance partnerships with Dell, HP and others strengthened Man & Machine’s market position in Europe.
Man & Machine products are now in use all over the European territory. Hospitals, clinics, dental practices, medical equipment manufacturers, laboratories, hygiene sensitive manufacturing facilities in food and pharma, general practitioners, they all find fit for purpose solutions in our range of disinfectable keyboards and mice. The sealed and rugged nature of our specialty keyboards and mice also works well for vehicle mounting in police cars, and protection against dust and oily fluids in industrial environments.
Our office in Haarlem, the Netherlands, hosts our sales, marketing and customer service teams and acts as a regional warehouse where we localize our various products and ship them in the best possible delay.
Our parent company Man & Machine Inc. has been manufacturing specialty hardware products since 1982. Clifton Broumand started the company as a young entrepreneur and his innovative engineering and visionary approach of product development, always geared towards the best usability for those out there in the field, is bringing the company forward.
Located just outside of Washington, DC, in the American State of Maryland, our corporate headquarters’ current 1765 m2 facility includes corporate offices, a manufacturing facility, engineering facility, a Class 1000 Clean Room as well as warehousing and shipping. All fully sealed silicone keyboards in our range are made with great care in this facility, which was awarded ISO 9001:2015 certification in 2023.
