About Us

Our History  

Aiko and Mamoru TakitaniThe origins of Hawaiian Host Group can be traced back to almost a century. Mamoru Takitani along with his wife, Aiko, had hopes of producing a world-famous confection. Through hard work and dedication, they were able to create their one-of-a-kind recipe.

Today, we still use that very same formula and continue to come up with a variety of macadamia delights to share with the world through our brands, Hawaiian Host®, Mauna Loa®, and KOHO®.
