Helping Hawaiʻi build and live better since 1921
Helping Hawaiʻi build and live better since 1921
With over 100 years of providing high-quality materials, innovative technology, well-equipped facilities, and superior customer service, HPM has become Hawaiʻi's leading source for building. To support our Hawai‘i contractors, we carry more than 2,200 product lines, including pro-grade lumber, trusses, tools, pre-engineered wall panels, Custom Metal Roofing, pre-built sheds, steel framing, and pre-hung doors. For those looking to build a new home, HPM offers proven house plans and materials that save time and money.
On Hawaiʻi Island, customers can visit HPM's retail stores and Home Design Centers in Hilo, Kona, and Waimea, along with lumberyards that service projects of all sizes. On Maui, HPM expanded its offerings by acquiring Truss Systems Hawaii, creating a new division known as Truss Systems by HPM. This acquisition allows HPM to provide locally prefabricated building materials, giving builders more options and capacity to make housing more attainable and affordable for residents. Customers can also stop by HPM's retail stores and lumberyards in Wailuku, Makawao, Lāhainā, and Kīhei, acquired in 2020 from long-time family business, Miyake Concrete & Accessories, Inc., plus the new Design Center on the second floor of the Kīhei location.
HPM also services Oʻahu, Kauaʻi, and recently expanded to Lānaʻi with a new store and drive-through lumberyard. The 5,000-square foot space, formerly known as Lānaʻi Hardware and Lumber store, underwent renovations and opened in April 2024, offering a wide range of products, including lumber, hardware, tools, paint, plumbing and electrical supplies, as well as pet food and supplies, and custom-ordering options for specialty items.
In 2022, HPM expanded its footprint beyond Hawaiʻi and opened a distribution center in Fife, Washington. The new consolidation facility has helped HPM gain more visibility and direct management of its inbound supply chain.
HPM is a local company with humble origins. We have a long history of persevering through challenges to achieve change, innovation, and progress. Yet one thing has stayed the same over the past century: our commitment to providing customers with the best building materials and services.

Year HPM Was Founded
Employee-Owned
We take care of our team, and our team takes care of our customers, and as we grow into a statewide building supplier, our success continues to be a shared success.Jason Fujimoto President and CEO, HPM Building Supply
In 1959, HPM began an employee profit-sharing plan. Then in 1977, we became one of Hawaii's first companies to establish an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Today, employees own 100% of company stock through the ESOP.
After a year of employment (and at least 1,000 hours worked), employees become part of our ESOP — meaning they're not just employees, but owners. Owner-employees are motivated to meet goals by providing exceptional customer service, maximizing sales, minimizing expenses, and operating within our core values of Heart, Character, and Growth.
It's our community that has invested in and supported us for over 100 years that we feel it's only right to reinvest back in our community. The HPM Foundation provides monetary donations to local nonprofits. In recent years, we've supported the American Heart Association Hawaii, American Cancer Society, Habitat for Humanity (all islands), Big Brothers Big Sisters, Hawaii Literacy, Hawaii Land Trust, Hawaii Humane Society, and the University of Hawaii System & Foundation.
