Manischewitz (/ˌmænɪˈʃɛvɪts/; Hebrew: מנישביץ) is a brand of kosher products founded in 1888 in Cincinnati, Ohio, and best known for its matzo and kosher wine. It became a public corporation in 1923 but remained under family control until January 1991,[2] when it was bought out by a private equity firm. On April 7, 2014, Sankaty Advisors, an arm of the private equity firm Bain Capital, bought the company from a group that included the investment firm Harbinger.[3] It is the world's largest Matzo manufacturer, one of America's largest kosher brands, and the first American exporter of matzo.[4]
