WestRock is the second largest packaging company in the US.
Smurfit said the boards of the two businesses are “discussing the key terms of a potential combination”.
If the deal is done the combined new company – Smurfit WestRock – would be listed on the New York stock exchange and headquartered in Ireland.
Smurfit has its roots in 1930s Dublin, when businessman Jefferson Smurfit was asked to revive a small manufacturing business owned by other family members.
Its last major expansion was in 2005 when Smurfit merged with Netherlands-based Kappa Packaging.
