FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. — Van Mark Products Corporation is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2014. Founded in 1964 by Gene Van Cleave, Van Mark manufactures portable jobsite bending brakes and installation tools for the residential and commercial construction industries. Doing business globally and based out of Farmington Hills, Mich., Van Mark designs and manufactures tools for the residential roofing, siding, window and gutter installation industries as well as tools for metal roofing and post frame construction.
Van Mark began when Gene Van Cleave founded the business after working as a stone mason and siding and window installer for many years.
