HPM Building Supply

What HPM Building Supply does

HPM Building Supply, legally Hawaii Planing Mill, Ltd., is a privately held, 100% employee-owned building products retailer and manufacturer founded in 1920 with headquarters in Kea'au, Hawai'i, and 18 physical locations spanning Hawai'i Island, Maui, and O'ahu. The company sells wholesale and retail building materials, lumber, hardware, and specialty products (paint, decking, treated lumber, steel framing, windows and doors) through both in-store and online channels (shop.hpmhawaii.com) offering over 13,000 SKUs with in-store pickup.

HPM operates an integrated manufacturing capability producing MiTek-engineered roof trusses and wall panels, custom metal roofing and gutters, pre-hung doors, HalePlus factory-built and flatpack homes, and sheds (via the ShedPro Hawaii sub-brand). It runs Design Centers on three islands offering kitchen and bath design, cabinetry (Bellmont, Medallion), countertops (LX Hausys VIATERA), flooring, and premium appliances (Bosch, Miele, TOTO), supported by an O'ahu Design Center expansion completed in 2025 and a Maui manufacturing division created via the 2024 acquisition of Truss Systems Hawaii. Distribution and channel operations are supported by HPM Tech, an in-house technology subsidiary running the e-commerce platform, Epicor ERP integrations (WebTrack), PayPal payment processing, and SimpleTexting SMS marketing.

The business model combines retail and wholesale distribution, custom manufacturing, and design-services fees across two primary customer segments: Professional Contractors (served through a dedicated Pro Services division with accounts, credit, bonding, and volume-based pricing) and Homeowners (served through Design Centers, pre-approved home plans with County of Hawai'i expedited permitting, and material packages). Commercial buyers, government, and non-profit housing entities (e.g., Hawai'i Island Community Development Corporation) form a secondary segment. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware and material sales, with professional services and custom manufacturing quoted on a project basis, and pricing tiered across retail, Pro/Subscription (monthly billing), senior/military discount, and quote-based custom categories. The company is led by Chairman & CEO Jason Fujimoto, who also runs the firm's Conscious Leadership Program, and has no external parent, private equity, or venture capital ownership disclosed.

Direct peers

• BMC Stock Holdings: One of the largest U.S. providers of building materials, lumber, and component manufacturing (trusses, wall panels, doors, millwork) to professional builders. Directly comparable to HPM's combination of building materials distribution and in-house component manufacturing.
• ABC Supply Co. Largest wholesale distributor of roofing, siding, windows, and other exterior building products in North America. Comparable to HPM's wholesale building materials distribution and custom metal roofing manufacturing for professional contractors.
• 84 Lumber: Privately held building materials retailer and manufacturer serving professional builders and DIY customers, with in-store design centers, installed services, and component manufacturing. Closely mirrors HPM's retail-plus-manufacturing model.
• Lansing Building Products: Specialty distributor of exterior building products (windows, siding, doors, roofing, trim) to professional contractors across the U.S. Comparable to HPM's Pro Services distribution of Milgard windows, doors, and specialty exterior products.
• Foundation Building Materials: Specialty distributor of building products including insulation, drywall, ceilings, and steel framing. Comparable to HPM's specialty product portfolio targeting professional contractors.
• Boise Cascade: Public manufacturer and distributor of engineered wood products, plywood, and building materials with a strong pro-dealer focus. Comparable to HPM's MiTek-engineered truss and wall panel manufacturing plus lumber distribution.
• Stock Building Supply (SRS Distribution): National distributor of building products (roofing, siding, windows, millwork) to professional contractors; formerly Stock Building Supply, now SRS Distribution. Directly comparable specialty distribution model targeting pro accounts.

Broad incumbents

• Home Depot: Largest U.S. home improvement retailer with broad SKU coverage, pro contractor programs, and supply into Hawaii. Competes with HPM across DIY retail and contractor accounts but lacks HPM's island-specific vertical integration.
• Lowe's: Second-largest U.S. home improvement retailer serving DIY and pro customers with broad building materials assortment. Comparable retail motion but national footprint and lacks HPM's Hawaii-anchored design and manufacturing specialization.

Regional players

• Menards: Privately held Midwestern U.S. home improvement chain with strong in-house manufacturing of trusses, doors, and building components. Comparable regional-retail-plus-manufacturing model, though geographically distinct from HPM.
