Kahn's is a U.S.-based company specializing in meat processing and distribution, established in 1883 in Cincinnati, Ohio.
History
Elias Kahn, who emigrated from Alberschweiler, Germany to Cincinnati in 1882, launched E. Kahn's Sons Company the following year, leveraging the city's prominent pork-packing sector. Following Elias's passing in 1895, his offspring grew the enterprise by promoting high-quality, subtly seasoned meat products that generated regional popularity. The business prospered for more than eight decades until leadership passed to Milton Schloss, Matilda Kahn’s son, after the demise of the Kahn brothers.
In 1966, Consolidated Foods Corporation acquired Kahn's. Ten years later, the Sara Lee division of Consolidated Foods broadened its holdings by purchasing Hillshire Farm and Rudy's Farm, incorporating Kahn's into a wider array of meat brands.
Sponsorships
During the 1980s through the 2000s, Kahn's franks were designated as the official hot dogs at Shea Stadium for the New York Mets. Presently, they hold the status of official hot dog for the Cincinnati Reds.
