Rakusen's was founded by a watch maker, Lloyd Rakusen, who started from baking matzos in his own back room to forming a factory in the city of Leeds, passing the thriving company onto his family in 1944 at his death.

Rakusen's is owned by Andrew Simpson, who took over the company in 2015.[1]

Rakusen's products are all approved by the London Beth Din. Most British supermarkets stock some Rakusen's products all year, and special Passover matzo at Passover.
