Honoring Hall of Fame Careers: Fritz Yambrach of San Jose State University

Now on a biennial cadence, the Packaging & Processing Hall of Fame is inducting four new members into its ranks in 2020. Fritz Yambrach's dedicated his live to ongoing service as an educator, program builder, and packaging innovator.

Just as we continue to see in today’s youth, a barely college-aged Fritz Yambrach, Ph.D., had no idea packaging was an option, much less that he was attending a school with a world-class packaging program, when he was admitted to Michigan State.

It was a tennis buddy—Yambrach was a competitive junior tennis player, more on that later—who lobbed him this tip: “Take a look at the packaging school.” The advice led him to take an introductory course that would serve as the gateway to his career in the industry.
