It has been reported that Smurfit Westrock plans to close a facility in Atlanta, GA. The closure, which is expected to be completed in early January 2026, will effect 55 employees, according to a worker adjustment and retraining notification filed with the state.
This facility will close “as part of ongoing optimization,” a Smurfit Westrock spokesperson said. “Production will transition to an improved Smurfit Westrock facility with expanded production capabilities, optimized logistics and certified to SQF standards.”
