Taylor-Winfield Technologies, Inc., a supplier of custom material joining, induction heating, and automation solutions, announced that it has bought substantially all the assets of George A. Mitchell Company (GMC).

A press release said that GMC, founded in 1963, makes push pointers, end forming machines and tooling. Its pointing machines and drawing benches are applicable for wire rod preparation, especially larger diameters that will be subsequently drawn into wire or cable. The custom material handling equipment that Mitchell produces could also be used in large-scale wire and cable plants when handling heavy rod or bar stock as a precursor step to wire drawing.

Both companies are based in Ohio. Taylor-Winfield’s product lines for wire and cable makers range from welding and joining machines to full turnkey automation and process support for a production line.
