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.
