Midmark Corporation is an American company that manufactures medical, dental, and veterinary products and provides related services. It is a privately held company, and was founded in 1915 as The Cummings Machine Company.[3]
Headquartered in Dayton, Ohio. The company maintains production and administrative offices in Versailles, Ohio, as well as seven other locations in the US; one in Mumbai, India[4] and one in Quattro Castella, Italy.[5]
1950s - 1970s
Midmark, formerly The Cummings Machine Company, was founded in 1915,[3] manufacturing cement mixers.[6] In 1918, Cummings bought the Reeves Pulley Company's engine business.[7] In 1919, 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.[citation needed]
Carl's son, Jim Eiting, joined the company in 1956.
Midmark entered the medical industry in 1967 when it purchased the assets of the bankrupt American Metal Furniture Company. The company was then renamed IE Industries for "innovative engineering".[8]
It also introduced a solid-frame hydrostatic trencher 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.
Jim Eiting retired as chief executive of the company in 1995.[6]
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 took over as president and CEO.[9]
In 2010, Midmark partnered with Mortara Instrument in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, adding new products to its line of diagnostic devices.[10]
Midmark moved its headquarters from Versailles, Ohio to Dayton, Ohio, located at the University of Dayton River Campus, in 2013.[11]
In 2018, Midmark moved its headquarters from Dayton, Ohio to Austin Landing in Miamisburg, Ohio. [12]
In August 2019, the company acquired the True Definition intraoral scanner platform from 3M.[13]
In April 2021, President Jon Well took over as CEO, succeeding John Baumann.[14]
