About HPM Building Supply

HPM Building Supply was founded in Hilo in 1921 by Kametaro Fujimoto, the great-great-grandfather of current President and CEO Jason Fujimoto. HPM specializes in lumber, building materials, paint, tools, trusses, wall panels, metal and composite roofing, kitchen and bath design, and pre-designed house plans. The company was one of Hawaii’s first businesses to establish an employee profit-sharing plan in 1959 and, in 1977, became one of the first companies in the state to be employee-owned.

HPM Building Supply has been helping Hawai‘i build better and live better since 1921. A fifth-generation, local, family-run business, HPM is 100% employee-owned. It serves the home improvement market and building industry statewide through its retail stores, building supply and lumber yards, Home Design Centers, and 87ZERO by HPM showrooms, roofing and manufacturing facilities, corporate offices, and U.S. West Coast Consolidation Facility spanning 18 locations across Hawai‘i Island, Maui, O‘ahu, Kaua‘i, and Washington state.
