Smurfit WestRock Is the World's Largest Containerboard Producer, but Near-Term Headwinds Remain

Spencer Liberman

Smurfit WestRock manufactures corrugated packaging, consumer packaging, paper products, and more. It accounts for roughly 20% of the North American containerboard market and is the second-largest producer in the region. Smurfit WestRock was formed from the 2024 merger of Smurfit Kappa and WestRock, which combined two of the largest containerboard and paper companies in Europe and North America, respectively. Smurfit WestRock is now one of the largest packaging producers in the world and has significant operations in North America, South America, and Europe. The company has over 60 paper mills and operates in 40 countries.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

The combination of Smurfit Kappa and WestRock creates the world’s largest containerboard producer. Smurfit WestRock’s combination will enable the firm to better service global customers.

Bears

The combination of Smurfit Kappa and WestRock will only generate limited synergies due to the geographic diversity of the companies, which will have minimal impact on margins and returns.
