Aptar Closures takes the spotlight with a double win at the industry's prestigious awards! The Association for Dressings & Sauces (ADS) has honored Aptar with not one, but two remarkable accolades at their 2025 Annual Business Forum.
Supplier Partner of the Year
Aptar Closures' expertise and dedication have been acknowledged by their peers in the industry. They were crowned Supplier Partner of the Year in the packaging category, an award that holds significant weight. This recognition is a testament to Aptar's ability to go above and beyond as a partner, providing exceptional equipment, service, and innovative packaging solutions. An ADS member raved about Aptar's commitment to quality and consumer satisfaction, highlighting their active role in material qualification and setting consumer-centric quality standards.
But here's where it gets even more impressive...
Supporting Vendor for Package of the Year
Aptar's Tower closure, a clever flip-top design, played a starring role in McCormick's Frank's RedHot Squeeze Sauces. This innovative packaging not only offers a convenient, one-handed dispensing experience but also ensures precise control for the perfect drizzle. Aptar's contribution to this product's success earned them the Supporting Vendor award for ADS' Package of the Year.
"Aptar Closures is a true industry leader," said Jeannie Milewski, President of ADS. "Their consistent excellence and commitment to their partners and consumers are evident." This praise is further emphasized by the fact that Aptar's solutions were also featured in two other winning products at the ADS awards.
Katie Schomberg, Food Market Director at Aptar, expressed her gratitude, emphasizing the company's focus on co-creating value and delighting consumers. She said, "We are thrilled to be acknowledged for our collaborative efforts and innovative packaging solutions."
And this is where the story gets even more intriguing... The Association for Dressings & Sauces, established in 1926, is an influential trade association with a global reach. They represent manufacturers and suppliers in the dressings, sauces, and condiment industry, advocating for their members' interests and consumers' satisfaction. With a rich history and a forward-thinking approach, ADS continues to shape the industry's landscape.
A Controversial Take: Some might argue that packaging innovation is just a marketing gimmick. But is it possible that these awards prove otherwise? Could Aptar's success demonstrate that packaging can significantly enhance the consumer experience and drive industry progress? Share your thoughts in the comments!
