Editor’s note: Dan Feinberg continues his series on the IPC Hall of Fame, spotlighting the achievements of past Hall of Fame members.
Over the years, IPC members who have contributed significantly to IPC and our industry have been awarded with the IPC Raymond E. Pritchard Hall of Fame Award.

Over the coming months, I look forward to researching and reporting on IPC Hall of Fame members and their contributions. This month, I highlight Gene Weiner.
Gene Weiner is another long-standing member of IPC and an esteemed member of the IPC Hall of Fame. I first worked for Gene when he was the vice president of marketing and sales at Dynachem.
