Smurfit Kappa Group plc was a Dublin-based producer of paper-based packaging and one of Europe’s major corrugated packaging companies. The company supplied packaging solutions made primarily from paper and containerboard, serving customers in sectors such as food and beverage, consumer goods, retail, industrial products and e-commerce.
Its products and services included corrugated boxes, point-of-sale displays, consumer packaging, bag-in-box packaging, paper sacks and other paper-based solutions. Smurfit Kappa also operated paper mills and recycling facilities, supporting an integrated business model that covered the production of containerboard, packaging conversion and the recovery of used paper.
The company developed from the Jefferson Smurfit Group, which traced its origins to 1934, and adopted the Smurfit Kappa name following the 2005 combination of Jefferson Smurfit and Kappa Packaging. Before its combination with WestRock, Smurfit Kappa served customers across Europe and the Americas through a broad network of manufacturing, paper and recycling operations.
In July 2024, Smurfit Kappa combined with WestRock to form Smurfit Westrock. Tony Smurfit, who had served as Smurfit Kappa’s chief executive, became chief executive of the combined company.
