Wawrinka Parts Ways With Fromm

Stan Wawrinka parted ways with his long time sponsor Fromm Packaging Systems at the end of 2019.  Fromm had sponsored Wawrinka for more than 12 years.

Fromm was prominently seen on Wawrinka’s shirt.  But over the years, he added more logos on this shirt and the prominence of the Fromm logo has diminished.

34-year old Wawrinka has reached the twilight of his career and appears to be maximizing his earnings by adding more sponsors.  Sponsors are still drawn to Wawrinka as he is one of the few players who can beat the Big 3 – Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.

Fromm is owned by Swiss entrepreneur Reinhard Fromm. Fromm said he plans to invest in junior talent in Switzerland going forward.
