You can, but it isn't recommended. Idenctical tires, not merely tires from the same manufacturer, are preferred.
Different tires, even from the same manufacturer, have differing tread patterns to achieve different purposes. Some tires are designed for rain performance, some for high-performance handling, and others for fuel efficiency. Installing different tires, and thus differing patterns, mean different handling, performance, and even fuel efficiency characteristics under varying road conditions. You get the best out of none of your tires when you mix-and-match.
Ideally, all four wheels should have identical tires. If that's not possible, ensure that you have identical tires at least on the same axle (pairs on the front or the back).
