Tekni-Plex has named Eldon Schaffer as CEO of the company’s Consumer Products division, which services non-healthcare sectors including food & beverage, cosmetics & beauty and personal care. Schaffer will play a critical role in developing and executing business strategies that will enable the company to apply its materials science knowledge to customer product designs and challenges.

“Eldon will be an incredible asset for Tekni-Plex, as he applies his outstanding leadership skills, product knowledge and industry experience to both our internal efforts and client interactions,” says Brenda Chamulak, Tekni-Plex President & CEO. “Eldon is skilled in change management, fosters multi-cultural performance-based teams that hold each other accountable, and works with teams to create innovative platforms that help world-leading brands become category transformers.”

Schaffer came to Tekni-Plex from AptarGroup, where he was president of two of the three global divisions with sales of $350 million to $1.2 billion. His global teams consistently outperformed management objectives and delivered above-market growth.

Schaffer earned a Bachelor’s degree in marketing from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He also has an MBA in Finance and Marketing from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business.
