Everett, Washington, March 25th, 2026, Formost Fuji Corporation, a leading manufacturer of packaging equipment, is pleased to announce the appointment of Grant Wachob as Controller. Grant joined Formost Fuji in December 2025, bringing with him more than a decade of experience in accounting, finance, and leadership within high-growth and publicly traded organizations.
Grant earned his bachelor’s degrees in accounting and finance from Central Washington University in 2014, and most recently completed his MBA with a focus in Leadership from the University of Kansas in 2025. His educational background, combined with his hands-on financial leadership experience, positions him well to support Formost Fuji’s continued growth and long-term success.
Prior to joining Formost Fuji, Grant spent five years at Karman Space & Defense, where he advanced from Financial Analyst to Controller. During his tenure, he played a key role in helping guide the company through its successful transition to a publicly traded organization in February 2025.
“What drew me to Formost Fuji was the opportunity to return to a smaller company with strong family values,” said Wachob. “Seeing how many employees have spent the majority of their careers here, spoke volumes about how people are treated and the culture the company has built. Since day one, everyone has been incredibly friendly and welcoming, and I’m excited to be part of the team.”
As Controller, Grant is responsible for overseeing Formost Fuji’s financial operations, strengthening financial controls, and supporting strategic decision-making across the organization.
