Hidehito Uki

Founder & CEO, Sun Noodle

“Back in the ’90s, I applied for a loan to build our current facility, but I had only 5% of the down payment required. Despite this, Central Pacific Bank fully supported my vision and approved the loan to help us become the thriving business we are today. This was my first experience of feeling that CPB truly believed in me.

From that first loan, we were able to establish a foundation that supported the growth and expansion of Sun Noodle across North America and Europe. We are excited to announce that, with the continued support of CPB, we will be opening a new state-of-the-art facility in 2025.

We’ve been partners with CPB for over 40 years, and our relationship goes far beyond financial advice. I know I can speak to them about anything from the smallest financial detail to the big picture, and they’ll be right there to offer effective solutions.

If CPB didn’t believe in supporting small businesses like ours, Sun Noodle wouldn’t be the company we are today. They’ve proven themselves to be the best partner for the type of business we want to become. We are grateful that CPB continues to believe in us just as we continue to believe in them. Together the possibilities are endless.”
