Business
DS Smith Plc, a leading provider of sustainable corrugated packaging solutions, paper products and recycling services, operates as a subsidiary of International Paper Company following its acquisition in January 2025. The company manufactures consumer boxes, displays and promotional packaging, protective packaging, trays, retail and shelf-ready packaging, transit and transport packaging, and industrial packaging; it also produces sustainable paper products and provides integrated recycling and waste management services focused on fibre-based alternatives to plastic. Founded in 1940 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom, DS Smith maintains manufacturing operations across more than 30 countries primarily in Europe, with additional presence in North America through its parent company integration, serving diverse end-markets including e-commerce, fresh food, retail and industrial sectors. In recent developments, International Paper completed its all-share acquisition of DS Smith on January 31, 2025, creating a global leader in sustainable packaging with enhanced positions in North America and Europe, Middle East and Africa; the company invested over €25 million in Polish facilities in late 2024, expanding production capacity by 25 million square metres annually through new machinery in Kielce, Bełchatów and Sosnowiec, including a production line for Easy Bowl fresh food solutions and sustainable e-commerce paper bags.
