We are a leading supplier of corrugated packaging in Europe, delivering high-quality, innovative, and sustainable products to some of the world’s biggest brands.
Customers trust and choose us for our expertise, our innovation and for our ability to deliver the right solution, at the right time. From FMCG and e-commerce, to retail and industrial sectors, our solutions keep supply chains moving.
Headquartered in London, we operate within an attractive market, delivering for customers at scale through an extensive manufacturing network designed around their needs.
Connecting every step of the value chain
Our integrated business model gives us greater control across the value chain. From papermaking through to packaging design and production, we create high-quality, sustainable solutions at scale. By owning and connecting more of this process, we give customers greater consistency in quality, stronger security of supply and expertise across the full product lifecycle.
It takes two weeks for paper fibre to move around our operations. What does this journey look like? Our Box to Box in 14 Days video follows the fibre on its journey around the DS Smith Supply Cycle.
Our customer promise: Dedicated to going further, together
With our operations across 29 countries, we combine international scale with deep local expertise. Our teams work closely with customers to understand local requirements and help them optimise their packaging portfolios, while drawing on the reach and capabilities of a wider international network.
We are continually simplifying and improving how we work, investing in the capacity, capabilities and innovation that matter most to our customers. This helps us stay agile, respond quickly to changing needs and focus our growth on the markets, segments and opportunities where we can create the greatest value.
