Island Maid

Island Maid, Inc. is a Hawaii-based beverage and food service supplier established in 1981 to serve the in-flight catering and hospitality sectors. Originally founded to address demand for locally made juices among major airlines including Mid Pacific Airlines, Pan American Airlines, and United Airlines, the company has expanded significantly over... four decades to become a comprehensive provider of beverage concentrates, syrups, shaved ice supplies, and disposable food service products. Operating from a large manufacturing and distribution facility in Waipahu, Island Maid serves a diverse customer base spanning commercial airlines, hospitals, schools, drive-in restaurants, and local shaved ice businesses throughout Hawaii. In 2008, the company acquired the Harders brand of syrups, a heritage product line established in 1933 that uses 100% Maui cane sugar and premium ingredients, allowing Island Maid to expand its portfolio while maintaining the original formulations and quality standards that define the brand. The company's product range includes portioned cup juices optimized for airline and institutional food service, premium syrup concentrates for beverage preparation, and a full line of shaved ice supplies and paper and plastic disposable products that support the broader food service ecosystem. Island Maid is known for its commitment to personalized customer service and treating both clients and employees as extended family, a philosophy rooted in the company's founding principles. Under current leadership, which includes second-generation family ownership, Island Maid continues to innovate by developing new beverage flavors and expanding its product offerings to meet evolving market demands. The company's longevity, established relationships with major institutional and commercial accounts, and integrated supply chain position it as a reliable regional supplier for specialized food service and beverage needs across Hawaii's hospitality, aviation, healthcare, and foodservice industries.Read More
