Island Pacific Distributors, Inc. (IPD) has established itself as Hawaii's premier architectural hardware distributor since its inception in 1978. Located in a 35,000 square foot facility in Honolulu, IPD specializes in doors, frames, finish hardware, security products, and various specialty building products tailored to meet the unique demands of the Hawaiian islands. Over the years, IPD has expanded its service offerings beyond distribution; it provides comprehensive consultation, analysis, and installation services to a diverse clientele, including architects, general contractors, and management companies.
As an employee-owned company, IPD prides itself on delivering exceptional customer service and high-quality products. The company's reputation for reliability is supported by a loyal customer base that appreciates the dedication and expertise of its staff members, many of whom have decades of experience in the industry. Throughout its history, IPD has continuously evolved, adapting to emerging technologies such as electronic locking systems and expanding its product line to include hollow metal doors and frames, as well as exclusive product lines from reputable manufacturers.
IPD’s journey began when founders Barbara and Leon Wolfley focused on providing high-security solutions for high-rise condominiums during Hawaii's construction boom. The company subsequently ventured into the hospitality sector, catering to hotels and luxury residences. With over 95% market share in the state's condominium projects, IPD’s influence in architectural hardware has been profound.
In 2014, IPD transitioned to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), reinforcing its commitment to its employees and ensuring sustainable growth and financial stability. The company's mantra, 'Find A Way', speaks to its resilience and commitment to overcoming challenges, evident during the COVID-19 pandemic when IPD maintained operations.
Celebrating over four decades of service, IPD remains dedicated to its mission of providing innovative solutions and superior products to its customers, ensuring a bright future for both the company and the communities it serves.
