DS Smith Packaging Netherlands BV

DS Smith Packaging Netherlands BV is the Dutch operating entity of DS Smith, a major European producer of sustainable fibre-based packaging, containerboard and recycling services. DS Smith was founded in the 1940s as a box-making business in East London, United Kingdom, and grew into a leading sustainable packaging supplier in Europe, with operations in more than 30 countries. The Netherlands entity carries the DS Smith brand into the Dutch market, serving customers with retail, industrial and e-commerce packaging as well as paper products and recycling services. The wider DS Smith business provides integrated packaging solutions spanning retail packaging, industrial packaging and e-commerce services, alongside paper products such as brown liners, white liners and kraftliners produced at its paper mills. Its recycling arm offers cardboard recycling, paper recycling, retail recycling and closed-loop recycling, supporting a circular business model that helps brands meet sustainability goals. The company positions itself around the purpose of "Redefining Packaging for a Changing World," responding to changing shopping habits with sustainable packaging. In January 2025, DS Smith combined with International Paper, one of the leading producers of sustainable packaging and other fibre-based products, creating a global leader in sustainable packaging solutions. The combined group is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, USA and London, England, and employs more than 65,000 colleagues with manufacturing operations in North America and EMEA. Through this combination, DS Smith Packaging Netherlands BV sits within a global packaging group while continuing to serve Dutch and European customers under the DS Smith brand.

DS Smith was founded in the 1940s as a box-making business in East London, United Kingdom. From those origins it expanded to provide full solutions including recycling and paper making, becoming a leading sustainable packaging supplier in Europe. Over the decades the business grew to operate in more than 30 countries, offering retail, industrial and e-commerce packaging alongside paper products and recycling services. DS Smith Packaging Netherlands BV represents the group's Dutch operating presence, extending the DS Smith brand and integrated packaging, paper and recycling offering into the Netherlands. The entity is recorded as a Netherlands company. A major turning point came in January 2025, when International Paper and DS Smith combined. International Paper had been established in 1898 as a paper and pulp company in the northeastern United States, combining several small businesses, and over more than 125 years transformed itself multiple times into a leading global packaging supplier. The combination of the two businesses created a global leader in sustainable packaging solutions, headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, USA and London, England, employing more than 65,000 colleagues with manufacturing operations in North America and EMEA. Within this combined group, DS Smith Packaging Netherlands BV continues to serve customers under the DS Smith brand.
