Who we are

At Aptar, we use insights, design, engineering and science to turn ideas into solutions that build brand value for our customers, and, in turn, make a meaningful difference in the lives, looks, health and homes of people around the world.

 

Every day, Aptar creates “a-ha moments” for its customers and their consumers and patients by continually bringing innovations to market that convert non-dispensing packaging into breakthrough product-dispensing systems, including those that give people more effective ways to put on their favorite fragrance, kids the opportunity to pour ketchup without making a mess and patients connected technologies that help them more easily adhere to treatment.

 

We have manufacturing facilities in North America, Europe, Asia and South America and over 13,000 dedicated employees in some 20 countries.

• Promote a diverse and inclusive work environment.

• Allow for failure by allowing people to make mistakes through an open and trusting environment.

• Invest in the development of employees through local, regional and global career opportunities.

• Contribute to the communities where we reside.
