Founded as one of the country’s first private equity firms in 1946 by John Hay “Jock” Whitney, J.H. Whitney was formed with the objective of providing capital and professional assistance to entrepreneurs growing companies and reshaping industries. J.H. Whitney's rich history of success in small and middle market investing began with the
nation’s first post-World War II leveraged buyout, Spencer Chemicals, by converting a munitions plant into a fertilizer facility. Shortly thereafter, J.H. Whitney introduced the world to Minute Maid Orange Juice, a product in part developed in the kitchen of J.H. Whitney’s original Rockefeller Center, New York offices.
