"Jack" graduated from Oak Park River Forest High School, from Purdue University (BSME) and from Columbia University (MBA). After serving with the Navy in Vietnam, the young engineer soon began working for his father’s company (the John R. Nalbach Engineering Co.) where he invented a series of machines that would help shape the packaging industry for years to follow.
After nearly 25 years in R+D, in 1994 he was promoted to President of Nalbach Engineering. He continued to grow the company which ultimately expanded to become the Nalbach Group. Along with the start-up of Container Handling Systems Corp. (CHSC), the group grew through the acquisition of several local contract manufacturing companies including Chicago Metal Fabricators, Ability Metal Company, Ultra Specialties, and several others.
