H. Hackfeld & Co.
Honolulu H.I.
In 1849, German immigrant Heinrich Hackfeld
formed a dry goods store called Hackfeld's Dry Goods in Honolulu.
Hackfeld later became the business agent for Kōloa Plantation on the island of Kauai.
Paul Isenberg became a partner in 1881.
In 1898, the Hackfeld and Isenberg family interests in Hawaii
were officially reorganized as H. Hackfeld & Co.
During World War I, H. Hackfeld & Co. was seized
by the U.S. government Alien Property Custodian.
It was later sold to a consortium of Hawaii businessmen in 1918,
who changed the name to "American Factors".
In 1966, the name was further shortened to "Amfac".
Henry Alexander Walker became president in 1933.
The family estate in Nuʻuanu Valley,
known as the H. Alexander Walker Residence,
was developed into a showcase orchid garden.
From 1968 to 1972,
under president Henry Alexander Walker Jr., Amfac acquired 42 companies.
