Glenn Hashimoto, president of the Suisan Group, issued a statement today saying the company’s food distribution operations will continue despite the overnight fire.
Although there might be some delays, no significant interruption of service is expected, said Hashimoto.
“While this building is an important part of Suisan, and housed its business and management offices, the company’s fleet of 33 trucks was not affected,” he said.
“Other parts of the Hilo operation and all of the Kona operation are operational.”
The company has 175 employees on the Big Island.
Hashimoto took over the reins of the company from longtime executive Rex Matsuno in January. Matsuno remains as chairman of the Suisan board.
Hashimoto said he wanted to thank the Suisan ohana for its “quick pulling together to keep operations and deliveries moving.”
“No one was injured, so we are thankful,” he said. “We are resilient and will work things out.
