The Entrepreneur of the Year program honors leaders who are reshaping industries and creating lasting impact. Winners are selected by an independent panel based on entrepreneurial spirit, strategic vision and sustained value creation.

For Aptar, this achievement reflects the strength of our global team and our shared commitment to delivering innovative solutions that improve everyday life. It also underscores the entrepreneurial mindset that defines Aptar’s history and drives how we operate across markets and regions today.

Since becoming CEO in 2017, Stephan has guided Aptar through a period of transformation, strengthening our global position while advancing innovation and investment across key growth areas. Under his leadership, Aptar has expanded capabilities in high-value markets, enhanced its innovation pipeline and reinforced a culture rooted in performance, purpose and sustainability. 

As a Midwest award winner, Stephan will advance to the Entrepreneur of the Year National Awards later this year. Learn more here by visiting the EOY website.
