In July 2019, PG&S was acquired by three local entrepreneurs who had personal connections with the founding couple, Russell Kaupu, Trevor Maunakea and Damon Pescaia. The founders and the current owners are all alumni of The Kamehameha Schools. PG&S has been a Native Hawaiian-organized, owned and operated business, since its inception.

PG&S has grown to include a main warehouse and office space in Waipahu, and a supplemental warehouse space in Mapunapuna, both in the City and County of Honolulu. Although primarily serving customers on Oahu, the company has distributed products throughout Hawaii and to parts of Pacifica, including Samoa and Guam, through strategic warehousing and logistics arrangements.
The company continues to serve the local dental industry, but has expanded to serve a variety of other industries and consumers, such as medical, beauty/tattoo, auto repair, industrial contracting and emergency services. PG&S also shares certain back office sales and warehouse/delivery functions with its affiliated company, Maunakea Integrated Solutions LLC (www.maunakeais.com).
While PG&S happily affirms itself as a “small business” under government standards, we aim to grow our business presence while preserving and maintaining our local identity.
PG&S’ mission is to be a Native Hawaiian organized, owned and operated company that adheres to its Christian/Hawaiian roots and values in providing quality products at competitive prices with exceptional local-style service throughout the state of Hawaii and the Pacific.
