Rewards and incentives company Rymax, the New Jersey-based parent company of Brainstorm Logistics (asi/41515), is now a nationally certified Women’s Business Enterprise after a certification process through the Woman’s Business Enterprise Council, a regional certifying partner of the Woman’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). WBENC is the nation’s largest certifying firm for women-owned businesses and a consistent advocate for female entrepreneurs.

The certification process includes rigorous analysis of the business and its operations, along with a site inspection, to verify that firms are at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by a woman.

President Eve Kolakowski took the helm at Rymax in 2019, and has been with the company for 20 years in positions ranging from operations and logistics to brand partnerships and fulfillment.

Eve Kolakowski became president of Rymax last year; the company is now WBENC-certified.

“This recognition is not only a tremendous honor for me personally, but also for my entire team, who share in this great accomplishment,” said Kolakowski in a statement. “I’m extremely excited to be in such talented company, amongst women who are well-respected leaders within their industries.”
