We’ve committed ourselves to only partnering with small batch Hawaii-based manufacturers (that’s how we started!) as part of our mission to support local brands first and foremost.
We started as a “hui” of makers in a little community in Kapolei making snacks for a local convenience store chain. We received overwhelming positive feedback so we thought, “Hey! Let’s make the hui official!”
So we pooled our diverse knowledge of sourcing, logistics, and passion for Hawaii-inspired snacks & products and created Hawaiian Kine Trading Company in 2018. We’ve since grown into a boutique distribution company that serves most major retail chains in Hawaii.

What We Do & Where We Do It
We have extensive experience with the complete product lifecycle from concept to customer. We use this super power to help Hawaii-based brands R & D new products or scale existing ones and get them retail-ready for distribution.
