Headquartered in Bayonne, Kayco is a family-owned, kosher and multi-cultural food supplier and manufacturer with distribution in more than 40 countries as well as independent grocers and major supermarket chains across the U.S.

In addition to being the nation’s largest kosher food purveyor, Kayco sources and distributes products to the general market to help meet the demands of consumers looking for specialty food products that are healthful, convenient, and/or for restricted diets and lifestyles.

A family business that spans nine generations, Kayco was formed by the 2019 merger of Kedem Foods, Kenover Marketing and B&W Foods. With more than 5,000 products and 175-plus brands, Kayco offers a wide variety of categories, including juices, confections, snacks, condiments, baking needs and general-purpose products.

The company is also widely recognized for its ability to adapt to food trends and changing consumer profiles. Some of its most notable product innovations include industry firsts, like a complete line of gluten free products and the first nationally available biodynamic grape juice.

In June, Kayco unveiled a refresh of one of the most iconic and recognizable names in its kosher division – Manischewitz. Founded in 1888, Manischewitz has been a stalwart in American Jewish culture for over 130 years, offering authentic Jewish foods to consumers nationwide. Now, under Kayco’s stewardship, Manischewitz is undergoing a rebrand, symbolizing Jewish culture through food for kosher, specialty and mainstream consumers.

By expanding beyond its kosher roots, Kayco aims to introduce Jewish cuisine to a broader market, showcasing the tradition, flavors and authenticity that have defined Manischewitz for over a century. According to Kayco, the reimagined Manischewitz brand will continue to offer a diverse range of products, including traditional favorites like matzo and macaroons, alongside new offerings designed to appeal to modern palates.
