Smurfit Kappa Group plc was a packaging and paper company headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. The company designed, manufactured and supplied paper-based packaging for businesses across a range of industries, including food and beverage, consumer goods, industrial products, retail and e-commerce.
Its principal products included corrugated boxes and containers, consumer packaging, retail-ready displays, solidboard and paperboard packaging, sack and bag products, and bag-in-box solutions for liquids. Smurfit Kappa also operated paper mills and recycling facilities, supporting an integrated business model that used recovered paper and renewable fiber in the production of packaging materials.
The company developed a broad international operating network serving customers throughout Europe and the Americas. Smurfit Kappa traced its roots to the Irish Smurfit family’s paper and packaging businesses and grew through expansion and acquisitions. In September 2024, Smurfit Kappa combined with WestRock to form Smurfit Westrock, a global packaging company. Tony Smurfit, who had served as Smurfit Kappa’s chief executive officer, became chief executive officer of the combined company.
