History
Early years
Empire Kosher was founded in 1938 in Liberty, New York, by Joseph N. Katz, an Austrian-Jewish immigrant to the United States. The Katz family, including Joseph's son Murray, owned and ran the business for the first five decades of operation.[3][4]
In the 1930s and 1940s, the Katz family recruited the rabbis required for the kosher production process from Mandatory Palestine
