DAYTON, Ohio, October 12, 2015 — Midmark Corporation today announced
the appointment of Dr. Anne Eiting Klamar as chair of the board of
directors. Klamar has served as the company’s president since 2000 and

Under Klamar’s leadership, Midmark extended its global outreach and

accomplishments during Klamar’s tenure have been the addition of dental
and animal health business lines; successfully navigating the 2013

As chair of the board of directors, Klamar, along with other board
members, will work with Baumann to set the overall direction for the

Baumann has served on the Midmark board of directors since 2009 and as
chair of the board since 2013. Baumann was president and chief
executive officer of Ampac for 18 years. Ampac is a Cincinnati-based
global leader in creative packaging solutions serving the retail, food,
pharmaceutical and security markets. During his tenure, Ampac increased
its size twenty-fold; completed 12 acquisitions; and expanded into
Europe where it now operates several global manufacturing centers.
