Celebrates 100 Years
Remembering its rich history and preparing for the future
DAYTON, Ohio, Jan. 19, 2015 — Midmark Corporation announced today that
2015 marks the company’s 100th year of business. With a theme of
“Reminisce Reinvent Renew,” the celebration kicked off today at the
Versailles Performing Arts Center as president and CEO, Dr. Anne Eiting
Klamar, congratulated the Midmark teammates on their achievement,
reminisced about the company’s past and committed to being ready for
change as it moves into the future.
Klamar stated, “We are thrilled to be celebrating our 100th year as a
company. We are grateful for our rich history, but are even more
excited for the future ahead of us. We are building a future that is
even greater than our past, cultivating a culture that is ready to
seize opportunity, relying on our strong foundation to drive our vision
of creating a better healthcare experience for all.”
In commemoration of the company’s anniversary, the company is making
plans for several celebratory events to build teammate and customer
engagement. Teammates will also be receiving a centennial book that
includes Midmark’s history and personal stories from several former and
current teammates. In addition, Midmark will be releasing a new public
corporate video and will have a display at the local Versailles Area
Historical Museum in Versailles, Ohio. The primary celebration will
take place in September for teammates, family members and special
guests at the Versailles campus.
Midmark began in 1915 as the Cummings Machine Company in Minster, Ohio,
manufacturing cement mixers. It later expanded its product line to
mining locomotives, foundry equipment and custom metal fabrications,
and became the Industrial Equipment Company. John Eiting, Klamar’s
great-grandfather, was the first member of the Eiting family to hold a
leadership position. Her father, Jim Eiting, joined the company in
1956, developing a new strategy which led Midmark to Versailles, Ohio
and into the medical industry when the company acquired a line of
medical examination tables.
Today Midmark employs more than 1,600 worldwide and is a leading
provider of medical, dental and veterinary equipment solutions,
focusing on efficient patient care and the improvement of exam room
