History of HMC
Founded In 1977 by Charles
Nakamura, Eric Johnson, and Carl Izumi, Hawaii Mega-Cor, Inc. (HMC)
is a customer-focused Hawaii corporation targeting distribution
of both veterinary and physician healthcare products, including
pharmaceuticals, equipment, veterinary biological products (vaccines),
and premium pet food. Utilizing their combined pharmaceutical industry
expertise, concept selling, and an understanding of “demand
base control” (customer loyalty and support through frequent
and focused customer contact) the founders have positioned HMC as
a dominant partner for well over ninety-five (95) percent of the
Hawaii veterinary community. As a result of “demand base control”
and HMC educating its customers on sound business planning, strategies,
and tactics with measured consequences, HMC’s only major competitor
closed its doors in November of 1999. HMC is now in control of a
solid established market with a basis for growth in future markets.
HMC's
diverse marketing channel includes U.S. veterinarians, Japanese
veterinarians, Taiwan veterinarians, retail outlets
and military
bases in Hawaii
and throughout the Pacific Rim. HMC is headquartered in Honolulu
and operates branch offices in Japan and Taiwan.
Discussions are
underway for the expansion of personnel and offices in Korea, further
expanding HMC's market presence and commitment to
the Rim of the
Pacific.
Today,
HMC employs 33 full-time associates and is comprised of five major
divisions: Agvet, International, OTC, MRH (hospitals, physicians,
pharmacies and human wholesalers), and PLI (Pacific Learning Institute).
This diverse structure is just one of the many factors contributing
to HMC's strength and consistent growth.
