Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company (HC&S) is Hawaii's largest producer of raw sugar, accounting for over 60% of all of the State's sugar. We grow sugarcane on our 37,000-acre central Maui plantation and process the cane in our Puunene mill. We produce over 200,000 tons of raw sugar annually. Our principal businesses are the growing and milling of sugarcane; production of raw sugar, molasses, and specialty sugar; and the generation and sale of electricity. HC&S is one of the largest employers on Maui with over 900 employees.

HC&S is the result of a series of mergers over many years that combined 14 predecessor sugar plantations, including the original plantation of Samuel T. Alexander and Henry P. Baldwin, whose partnership grew into Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (A&B), HC&S's diversified parent company. HC&S was incorporated in 1882, came into the A&B family of companies in 1898, and was finally merged into A&B in 1962. (To learn more about our history and company genealogy, click on HISTORY).

Among our sister A&B companies are Matson Navigation Company, A&B Properties, and Kauai Coffee Company. HC&S also produces Premium Raw Sugar products under its Maui Brand Hawaiian Raw Sugar label.
