Hartung Brothers Inc.
"The Hartungs were a family before they were a business, and the lessons taught in that family continue to shape how the business operates today. Galen and Lorna Hartung taught their children the values of hard work and honesty, and not just with words. Randy Hartung remembers learning the value of work when his parents presented him with a bill for his 6th grade school clothes. The Hartung children earned their way working Lorna’s Amway route, mowing neighbors’ lawns, working for local farmers, and sweeping floors at the Co-op." [1]

In 2017 Hartung Brothers Inc. completed an acquisition of Syngenta Seeds Hawaii Operations.[2] Ed Attema, Syngenta head of Global Seed Operations, Production & Supply, stated, in regards to the acquisition of their land on Oahu and Kauai, “We are extremely pleased to have this agreement with Hartung Brothers for our Hawaii sites. The goal has been to have our employee talent base and facilities maintained and to contract work with the new owner, and that will be achieved.”[3]
