WARWICK – CME Corp. has been awarded a five-year, multimillion dollar contract with the General Services Administration to provide health care equipment and other medical supplies to the federal government.
CME, which calls itself the largest U.S. distributor specializing in health care equipment, could not provide a total dollar value for the contract but estimated revenue at $3 million to $5 million per year for the first two years, growing to $7 million to $10 million per year. The contract also includes three future five-year options.
Emil ‘Mimi’ Toth has competed at Rideau Carleton Raceway for nearly the last five decades, making himself a popular fixture as a trainer-driver at the Ottawa oval.
“My dad was in the business there. He started when we were 12 or 13; me, my brother and my sister,” Toth said to Rideau Carleton’s Graeme Mitchell. “He had a horse called Trot Trot Charlie, a trotter… he was old time. Me and my brother got into it, then I got a job with Robert Charron. He needed a guy to clean stalls, so I was looking around [at] how to you know, you watch what you’re looking at there.I just watched from my parents and watched in the barn. He said ‘Mimi, go jog a horse.’ I said ‘I’ve never jogged a horse in my life.’ So I hopped on him and I made it around, however many laps there, and I came back. He said ‘Mimi, just slow down a little bit.’ And after that, off I went in the business, and I went on to get horses of my own.”
