History

Midmark, formerly The Cummings Machine Company, was founded in 1915,[4] manufacturing cement mixers. In 1918 Cummings bought the Reeves Pulley Company's engine business.[7] In 1921 the company expanded its product line to mining locomotives, foundry equipment, and custom metal fabrications, and became the Industrial Equipment Company. John Eiting was the first member of the Eiting family to hold a leadership position, being named president in 1925. John's son Carl Eiting joined the company in 1930 and became president in 1953. The company continued manufacturing mining and foundry equipment, then highway toll booths, electrical control consoles, and the first pressure ladle for the ductile and modular iron industries.

1950s - 1970s: Carl's son, Jim Eiting, joined the company in 1956, developing a new strategy which led Midmark into the medical industry, and in 1968 the company acquired the medical examination table product line of American Metal Furniture Company. The company was then renamed IE Industries for "innovative engineering." It also introduced the world's only solid frame, hydrostatic trencher, used for cutting ditches for utility underground lines and general construction. These new product lines resulted in the creation of three product divisions: Midmark Medical, Midmark Power (trencher), and Midmark Steel (mining equipment and custom manufacturing). In 1978, IE Industries became Midmark Corporation.

1980s - 1990s: Midmark purchased the Ritter line of medical equipment from Sybron in 1986, then designed and developed casework and sterilizers for the medical and dental markets. It acquired Knight Manufacturing, Inc. in Asheville, North Carolina, expanding its product offerings in the dental market. As part of a global initiative, Midmark purchased the French holding company, Arteme and its subsidiaries, Promotal and Beaumond, located in Ernée, France, in 1998.

2000–present: In 2000, Jim Eiting's daughter, Dr. Anne Eiting Klamar, who was practicing medicine at Family Practice Physicians in Urbana, Ohio, joined Midmark and was appointed to president and CEO. Midmark made several acquisitions to broaden each of its markets:

Brentwood Medical Products, Torrance, California - digital diagnostic products

Apollo Dental Products, Clovis, California - air compressors and evacuation systems for the dental market

Matrx, Orchard Park, New York - air compressors and evacuation systems for dental and veterinary medicine

DBL7, Fort Collins, Colorado - veterinary power examination and procedure tables, including the Canis Major Exam Lift Table

European Design, Inc., Glasgow, Kentucky - a premium wood cabinetry company[8]

Sharn Veterinary, Inc., Tampa, Florida - monitoring and critical care equipment for animal healthcare under the Cardell, CardEx, and Versaflo brands

Progeny, Inc., Lincolnshire, Illinois - radiographic imaging products for human and animal dental markets[9]

In 2010, Midmark acquired the majority equity position in Janak Healthcare Private Limited, a healthcare equipment company based in Mumbai, India. It also partnered with Mortara Instrument in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, adding new products to its line of diagnostic devices.[10]

Newmed, S.r.L, Quattro Castella, Italy- tabletop sterilization products and accessories for the medical, dental, and animal health markets.[11]

Midmark moved its headquarters from Versailles, Ohio to Dayton, Ohio, located at the University of Dayton River Campus, in 2013.[12]

In 2014, Midmark took sole ownership of Janak Healthcare Private Limited in Mumbai, India with manufacturing in Umargam, Gujarat.[13]

In 2016, Midmark acquired Versus Technology, Inc., a maker of locating technology, badges, and software located in Traverse City, Michigan.[14]

In 2018, Midmark moved its headquarters from Dayton, Ohio, located at the University of Dayton River Campus to Austin Landing in Miamisburg, Ohio. [15]

Anne Eiting Klamar transitioned into a new role as chair of the board on January 1, 2016. She and the board appointed John Baumann, who had been serving chair of the Midmark board since 2009, as her successor.

Midmark acquired VSSI, Inc., a manufacturer of veterinary practice equipment, located in Carthage, Missouri.[16]

Midmark acquires kennel manufacturer Mason Company Leesburg, Ohio.[17]
