The Smurfit Kappa Sourcing Strategy aims at reaching an optimum balance between quality, services and price for products obtained from third parties.

We therefore seek to attract and retain the best possible supplier with whom to develop effective partnerships. We offer the status of Preferred Supplier to those suppliers who guarantee Smurfit Kappa the best quality to cost ratio.

From our Corporate Office, the Corporate Sourcing Department co-ordinates the systematic Sourcing Process which Smurfit Kappa pursues for all its main Sourcing Categories. Each main Sourcing Category has a Lead Buyer, who is the principal contact for suppliers for that Sourcing Category.
