John W. Eiting, along with three partners, founded the business in 1915 as the Cummings Machine Company in Minster, Ohio. It began as a manufacturer of concrete mixers, mining cars and locomotives. The company underwent several name changes and entered the medical equipment market via an acquisition in 1967. In 1969, third-generation leader James A. (Jim) Eiting moved the medical division to Versailles, Ohio, and renamed the company Midmark Corporation.
Today Midmark, controlled by the Eiting family, is a global manufacturer and supplier of healthcare products and equipment and diagnostic software. Itâs now headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, but maintains production and administrative offices in Versailles, a town of about 2,600 people.
