History
Canadian Hospital Specialties was founded in 1967 by Henry Enns. Driven by industry experience and entrepreneurial passion, Henry teamed up with Dave Gilmore to found Enns and Gilmore. With a long career in the Canadian medical device industry spanning several roles, Henry's entrepreneurial passion ultimately led to the creation of his own company.
Fast-forward 50 years, and that same passion and experience still exists at CHS today. Over the years, the company has continued to grow and has blossomed from a home-operated business to its current location in Oakville, Ontario. What began as a small company of two, has now grown to over 300 employees including a National sales and marketing team of 40 individuals focused on the key areas of our business.
