HPM Building Supply Expands With Acquisition of 87ZERO

In a major expansion of its product lines, services and facilities, HPM Building Supply recently acquired 87ZERO, a Honolulu-based custom cabinetry firm that specializes in architectural elements such as furniture, fixtures, equipment, premium appliances, global sourcing and interior products.

The acquisition establishes a new division called 87ZERO by HPM. This division will service large-scale projects for developers, hoteliers and contractors. It will also provide affordable luxury interior solutions for homeowners. HPM plans to leverage 87ZERO’s global manufacturing relationships to develop and source products for both high-end and affordable housing markets.

“The opportunity to add 87ZERO to our HPM ‘ohana’ came about because of the values we have in common as much as a desire to expand our services for Hawaii’s construction and housing market,” says Jason Fujimoto, HPM president and CEO. “87ZERO and HPM first connected through our shared passion for helping to build more attainable housing for Hawaii families. We saw the potential to combine our strengths, create new, innovative solutions for our community and provide an even more seamless, one-stop shop for customers at every price point.”

Founded in 2007, 87ZERO is known for its work in condominiums, commercial and hospitality facilities and single-family residences. With two showrooms that span 5,300 square feet in the Nā Lama Kukui Lifestyle and Design Center, 87ZERO’s product lines include its own Italian-crafted SmartCucina cabinetry line along with global kitchen brand Ernestomeda and premium appliances from Bosch, Gaggenau, Miele and Thermador. With manufacturing partners in Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Italy, Germany and the United States, 87ZERO provides custom interior solutions and architectural elements. 87ZERO’s 15-member staff has become part of HPM’s team of more than 500 owner-employees throughout Hawaii.

“As part of HPM, we are looking forward to bringing 87ZERO’s capabilities and signature product lines to all islands,” says Sanford Hasegawa, founder of 87ZERO and current president of 87ZERO by HPM. “We’re excited for this new chapter of growth with the backing of HPM’s full-service building supply and local manufacturing operations. Together, we provide a compelling offering across the full spectrum of the market, from pros to consumers, from plans and supplies to interiors and finishing, and from luxury to affordable homes.”
