EY recognizes Marc Schupan

Ernst & Young LLP (EY) has announced Schupan & Sons Inc. CEO and owner Marc Schupan has been named an Entrepreneur Of The Year 2022 national finalist. The Kalamazoo, Michigan, recycling company owner was selected from a pool of 206 regional Entrepreneur Of The Year 2022 Award winners from 190 companies across the U.S.

EY says the Entrepreneur Of The Year Award was created to honor unstoppable entrepreneurs who dream up the services and products that disrupt markets and transform industries while improving lives. Now in its 37th year, it is among the most respected business award programs in the world.

Schupan & Sons Inc., founded in 1968 by Marc’s father, Nelson L. Schupan, is a third-generation, family-owned metals and plastics business specializing in industrial and electronics recycling, asset management, fabrication and distribution, beverage container processing and materials trading. The company has 15 facilities throughout Michigan, Ohio, Iowa and Indiana.

Schupan was selected by a panel of independent judges made up of entrepreneurs from across the U.S. Each candidate was evaluated based on entrepreneurial spirit; company purpose, growth and impact; and other core contributions and attributes.

“This recognition is a reflection of our company and our people, not just one person,” Schupan says. “It speaks to everything our people have accomplished in the last 54 years and the reputation we’ve built, even beyond Michigan.”

The EY Entrepreneur Of The Year national finalists and winners were announced during a celebration held at the Strategic Growth Forum, a gathering of high-growth, market-leading companies hosted in Palm Springs, California, Nov. 10-13, 2022.
