Makes corrugated and consumer packaging, containerboard, paperboard, kraft paper, paper sacks and bag-in-box systems through an integrated fiber-to-converting network. North America supplies most sales, with the rest spread across Europe, MEA, APAC and Latin America.
Produces paper-based packaging across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. Corrugated packaging and containerboard anchor the portfolio, alongside consumer packaging, paperboard, kraft paper, paper sacks, solidboard and bag-in-box systems.
Links wood and recovered-fiber sourcing, paper mills, converting plants, packaging machinery and distribution in an integrated system. This network supports custom designs, automated packing equipment and service for local, pan-regional and multinational customers. North America contributes most sales, and fast-moving consumer goods form the largest end market.
Created in 2024 through the combination of Smurfit Kappa and WestRock, the network is still being integrated and optimized through facility closures. Results remain exposed to packaging demand and pricing, fiber, energy and freight costs, labor agreements and environmental regulation.
