Job Description

Wharton Supply Inc. of Virginia & Wharton Forms & Storage

CONTACT: Mike Thompson

Office - (703) 455-6700

MISSION STATEMENT: Providing excellent customers service to contractors throughout the Mid-Atlantic Region, with a continued focus in concrete construction.

ABOUT US: Wharton Hardware and Supply was opened in 1948 by Victor Magistrelli, an energetic Italian immigrant who had been a blacksmith, demolition contractor, and barge operator by trade. He used the name of the South Philadelphia Street on which he lived, Wharton Street, for his new business. For Wharton's original warehouse, Magistrelli converted a 19th century one-room schoolhouse on Rt.130 in Pennsauken, NJ.

Magistrelli was very experienced in marine construction and tugboat operations and had hauled trash out to sea for the city of Philadelphia. There was a very active trade in World War II surplus goods in the years immediately following the war, and Magistrelli's business dealings at this time included the sale of a surplus German U-boat diesel engine.

Wharton started renting contractors' equipment in the 1950's. By the 1960's the company was being managed by Aldo Magistrelli, Victor's son. In the 1970's the company became more involved in the concrete accessories business, which has remained a core area for Wharton ever since.

In 1983, Wharton Hardware opened a second store in Springfield, Virginia. This store carries a similar inventory to the New Jersey store and, like the New Jersey store, offers daily jobsite delivery service. Our concrete accessories and form rental yard in Clinton, Maryland was added later.

OUR TEAM: Wharton is a family operation. Aldo Magistrelli still manages the company with the help of his three sons Victor, AJ and Chuck, and his son-in-law, Carl.

OUR FLEET: Wharton has over seventy trucks available for daily delivery to your office or jobsite. We also do regular inter-branch transfers of inventory between Virginia, Maryland, and New Jersey. Like everything else we do, our delivery fleet is geared towards providing you, our customer, with the best service and value possible.
