Diary of Tube Events

George A Mitchell celebrates 50 th year THE George A Mitchell company, which specialises in the development and manufacture of a line of push pointers for the tube and pipe industries, has celebrated its 50 th year in business. George Mitchell, owner and president, started the business as a one-man company in 1963, after a highly active career in the design and manufacture of extrusion presses and draw benches. His insight into the need for a better way of pointing ends of tubes other than by rotary hammer swaging or heating and squeezing, as was done prior to 1963, resulted in Mitchell developing the push pointer. Over the past 50 years, the George A Mitchell company has produced more than 700 pointers and dozens of tube handling systems for producers of aluminium, copper, brass, steel, stainless steel, nickel and even titanium and zirconium tubing.
