June 17, 2013 | 1 min to read
Following the removal of Dennis Simonis as president, CEO and director of Royal Hawaiian Orchards LP, Hawaii’s largest macadamia nut producer is focusing on working closely with other growers and farmers in the state and reviving the Hawaii Macadamia Nut Association to ensure the industry has a strong future in Hawaii.
Simonis had been the CEO of the Hilo-based company formerly known as ML Macadamia Orchards since December 2004, but PBN learned today his employment had been terminated last week.
John Kai, who has been a director of the company since June 2004, was named interim president of Royal Hawaiian Resources Inc.
He said Royal Hawaiian Orchards (Other OTC: NNUTU) and Simonis “parted ways” to make sure the company was “moving on the right track.”
