ATLANTA, Georgia — Smurfit Westrock announced its agreement to acquire the Chilean Containerboard and Corrugated business of Empresas (CMPC) for consideration of $420 million, which represents a post-synergy transaction multiple of less than 6 times Adjusted EBITDA. …These assets are strategically located, complementing our existing corrugated business and represent, for Smurfit Westrock, the opportunity to acquire one of the leading positions in containerboard and corrugated in Chile. The well-invested paper machine, located in Santiago, produces approximately 250,000 tons per year and will strengthen our regional paper system. It will allow us to integrate recycled paper into our operations in Argentina, Peru, and Ecuador, while also enabling us to route kraftliner from Brazil and North America into the acquired corrugated assets in Chile. …Completion is expected during the first half of 2027.
