Smurfit Kappa plc (LSE:SKG) is in talks with Atlanta-based WestRock over a potential combination to create Smurfit WestRock, a global leader in sustainable packaging. The deal, if completed, would create one of the world’s largest paper and packaging companies. No financial details were given but a report by the Wall street Journal suggested the combined group could be worth around $20 billion. Smurfit, which is listed in London but based in Dublin, said the enlarged company would have its global headquarters in Ireland with US operations remaining in Atlanta. In the last 12 months, the two group's generated revenue and adjusted Ebitda of approximately $34 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively. The firms are targeting annual pre-tax run-rate cost synergies in excess of $400 million at the end of the first full year following completion.
