FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

October 29, 2021

Rochester, N.Y. — Rochester Business Journal selected American Packaging Corporation CEO Peter Schottland as a 2021 Icon Honors award recipient.

Established in 2017, Icon Honors recognizes Rochester business leaders over the age of 60 for their notable success and demonstration of strong leadership within and outside their fields. The honorees have moved their businesses and Rochester forward by growing jobs and making a difference in the community.

“It’s a privilege to be included as an Icon Honors recipient alongside so many other incredible business leaders in Rochester,” Schottland said. “In my case the true award winner is our APC family—without their hard work and commitment each and every day, none of this is possible.”

To be eligible for Icon Honors, honorees must have a long-standing commitment to the Rochester business community and significant professional accomplishments through innovation and leadership. Honorees must also be champions of their industries and demonstrate a sustained commitment to community service. They may be in the workforce or retired and must hold or have held senior-management-level positions with significant authority in decision making for their organization.

"This year's Icon Honors awardees are impressive leaders who make a difference in Rochester and beyond. They are actively engaged in the community and mentor other leaders as well," said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, senior group publisher of the Rochester Business Journal. "Each of our honorees has qualities we all aspire to emulate and accomplishments we admire. We at the Rochester Business Journal are pleased to recognize this year's recipients."

The honorees will be recognized during an online celebration on December 6 from noon to 1 p.m. at rbj.net/events/icon-honors/.
