History edit

Midmark, formerly The Cummings Machine Company, was founded in 1915,[3] manufacturing cement mixers. In 1918, Cummings bought the Reeves Pulley Company's engine business.[6] 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]
1950s - 1970s edit
Carl's son, Jim Eiting, joined the company in 1956, developing a 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 a 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 edit
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 edit
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.
