Early Italian tubing

Mannesmann had a tube mill on the outskirts of Bergamo, think the site is now a science park of some sort. I believe they used to supply Columbus with raw tube stock from that mill.

Me neither. That's what I wanted to say.
Sorry if that came out wrong, I think I translated wrong I should have written "There is nothing more to say."
And I just saw that I also f*#ked up quoting

I haven’t tried look in up Mannesmann tubing.

That's because Mannesmann now is not the Mannesmann of the past after Vodafone reneged on a verbal agreement to keep the group complete made as part of their takeover. The tubing part of the group (and the name) was sold off to Salzgitter while VDO and Boge were sold to Siemens and Bosch bought some of the other engineering sectors.
