Most people run away from dirty, polluted places. PM Environmental makes it money by running toward them.

The Hazel Park-based firm specializes in evaluating soil and water contamination and brownfield redevelopment. Put simply, they're the firm that determines how polluted that old factory a developer wants to turn into lofts is and what can be done to remedy the situation.

And PM Environmental is good at it, too. The company consistently posts 15 percent annual revenue growth and has added six employees in the last couple of years. It now employs 15 people in Metro Detroit and can see adding another three or four people within the near future as it expands it business.

"Within five years we'd like to have 50 percent of our outside of the state," says Mike Kulka, president of PM Environmental.

It sees it best chances at accomplishing that goal by pursuing brownfield redevelopment. As Kulka points out, there isn't a shortage of that in America's industrial heartland.
