Hakatai Enterprises

What Hakatai Enterprises does

Hakatai Enterprises, Inc. is an Oregon-incorporated importer and distributor of glass mosaic tile founded in 1997 and headquartered in Ashland, Oregon, with a disclosed headcount of 1-10 employees. The company offers more than 25 tile series spanning vitreous glass, iridescent glass, recycled glass, stone-and-glass blends, metal-and-glass blends, and reclaimed boat wood, with multiple mounting options (mesh-backed, paper-faced, film-faced) sized for residential, hospitality, and commercial installations.

The product portfolio centers on the 3/4" x 3/4" Classic series — Hakatai's flagship line — supplemented by differentiated series including Fantastix, Luster, Aventurine, Ashland-e, Bohemia, and others, available in over 100 colors. Differentiated technical capabilities include online custom design tools: a Custom Blend Tool that lets customers specify color percentages, a Custom Gradient Tool covering heights from 2 to 200 feet with unlimited width, and the Paradox hand-cut mural program for bespoke mosaic installations starting at approximately $124/sq.ft. with 8-12 week lead times. Tile is rated as impervious to liquids and vapors, frost-proof, and non-flammable, with proven durability in continuous water-immersion applications such as pools and spas.

The business operates a three-channel distribution model: direct e-commerce to homeowners and consumers, the To The Trade program for dealers, architects, and designers with a dedicated login portal, and the Hakatai/Cartglass Direct Import Program for volume buyers. Pricing is per-unit for stocked inventory ($4-$7/lb for Classic, $17/sheet for Aventurine, $10-$16/lb for Luster) and per-quote for custom work. Customer concentration mixes a long tail of residential consumers with episodic enterprise projects for hospitality (JW Marriott Desert Ridge, Drury Plaza, Bulfinch Hotel), retail (Lululemon, Borders Books & Music), restaurant (Panda Express), healthcare (Lafayette Family Cancer Center), and nonprofit (Red Cross) clients. The company is Women-Owned and Native-Owned under an ownership structure that has been in place since 2017, an attribute that supports procurement diversity bidding.
