With waste paper as its chief ingredient, David S. Smith (Holdings) makes corrugated packaging and paper products used to transport and protect a range of consumer goods. Packaging, which accounts for more than half of the company's sales, is produced by its three main subsidiaries: David S. Smith Packaging, Kaysersberg Packaging, and St. Regis Paper. The company distributes office products through its Spicers subsidiary. David S. Smith also makes plastic packaging and dividers and stationery products such as envelopes, pads, and books. After three years of declining profits, the company is showing signs of stability after a restructuring that included the sale of two UK paper mills.
