Sept 6 - WestRock (WRK.N) is nearing a deal to merge with Europe's Smurfit Kappa (SKG.I), a move that could create a global paper and packaging giant worth around $20 billion, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.
The merger could be announced next week, if the talks don't fall apart, WSJ reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
WestRock and Smurfit Kappa did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for a comment.
