KAPOLEI HAWAII — Par Hawaii held a groundbreaking ceremony at its refinery in Kapolei today to prepare for new modular office space for nearly 60 Par Hawaii employees who will relocate from the downtown Honolulu office in the second quarter this year.
A total of 7,200 sq. ft. of office space will accommodate the logistics and retail teams to be closer to the refinery employees.
“The move will enhance communication among Par Hawaii employees,” said Eric Wright, who was recently promoted to president of Par Hawaii and now oversees both the refinery and logistics.
