Closure and purchase by F.H. Browne & Sons

The company unexpectedly closed in July 2020 following financial difficulties exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.⁵

The Mander trading name along with all the firm's intellectual property and rights was bought by F.H Browne & Sons Organ Builders - another South East regional organ-building firm based near Canterbury and established since 1871. Employing several ex N.P Mander staff, F.H Browne & Sons trades as Mander Organ Builders.

Instruments by the original NP Mander Ltd / Mander Organs Ltd are found throughout the world, including in Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the Middle East, Scandinavia and the United States.
