Corporation

V.P. and G.M. Medical Division, to
retire

Leadership Roles
VERSAILLES,
Ohio – (October 1, 2012)
– Midmark Corporation today announced the retirement
of Joe Rothstein,
vice president and general manager, medical division at the end of 2012.
“Joe
has done a tremendous job of leading our
medical division through successive growth during his years here at
Midmark
Corporation,” said president and CEO Dr. Anne Eiting Klamar. “He
embodies our
Midmark brand traits – genuine, expert, inspired and trusted – in all
that he
and his teams do. Joe has really done a great job of building
not just a
strong medical team, but also improving already strong bonds with our
distribution
partners. He inspires his team and the company with his
character, and I
feel very lucky that he spent the last 10 years with us here at
Midmark. He has
made a positive difference to our customers and our
organization.”
As
a result of Rothstein’s retirement, Mike
Walker will succeed him as vice president and general manager, medical
and
animal health divisions. Walker has been with Midmark since 1986, where
he
began his career as an industrial engineer in operations. Walker is a
strong
leader in the Midmark organization and will be a driving force in the
medical
division’s focus on effective and efficient patient care. As part of
Walker’s
promotion, he will retain his leadership role in developing the
strategy for
Midmark’s animal health division.
In
addition, Matt Bourne will be promoted to
senior director, animal health, assuming additional responsibilities in
his new
role. Bourne has been with Midmark since 1997, where he started as a
sales
representative and regional manager for the medical division. In 2010,
he was
promoted to director of sales, animal health, and has been instrumental
in the
development of Midmark’s fastest growing division. Bourne will lead
daily
business operations and sales within animal health.
Although
Walker will take responsibility for
the medical division effective immediately, Rothstein will remain with
Midmark
through December 2012. Midmark wishes Rothstein well as he starts this
new
chapter with his family and his community. The company also
congratulates Walker
and Bourne in their new roles and looks forward to a successful
transition.
