That is not a one-element tuple.  That is a string.  This is one of the
(relatively few) warts in Python syntax.  You want this:
    fields = ('company_name',)

Right.  The table content is expected to be an iterable of iterables. 
Yours happens to be that, but the inner iterables are strings (which
iterate one character at a time) instead of tuples containing a string.
