Based in Eau Claire, Michigan, Flamm Pickle & Packing Co. is an industrial manufacturer that provides high-quality pickle relish for food manufacturers to use in salad dressings, sauces and dips. In contrast to competitors who sell relish as a side business (pickles being their primary product), Flamm is laser-focused on relish.

Flamm’s president Dorothy Munao counts high standards, clear goals and empowering employees as keys to her company’s success. “It’s important for your people to understand not just what they’re supposed to do, but also why they do it,” she says.
