WestRock’s vision is to be the premier partner and unrivaled partner of winning solutions for our customers. As WestRock has grown to become one of the largest paper and packaging companies in the world, the number of our legal entities with which you may do business has also grown.
To simplify doing business with WestRock, we have begun rationalizing our legal entity structure in the United States. The initial step of this effort is a minor modification to our subsidiary legal entity structure and a slight change of certain legal entity names. We have also converted KapStone legal entities, which we acquired in 2018, to WestRock legal entities.
You can download W-9s for these legal entities, and request W-9s for other WestRock legal entities by clicking below.
