Established in 1961 by Robert Cosco, this versatile family business has grown into one of Hawaii's most highly-respected and resourceful industry specialty suppliers. Now located on 4 of the major islands,
Cosco has more than 50 employees and 60,000 square feet of warehouse space.
When Robert Cosco established the family company over 60 years ago, he envisioned it as "an industrial supermarket," a philosophy which has carried over into the present-day operations, supervised by his children: daughters Bobbie Cosco, CEO; and Cynthia Tavares, President; and son Matt Cosco, VP-Sales.
"Dad designed a self-service store," says former COSCO CEO, Bobbie Cosco.
