Greg Vietri
CEO of G.A. Vietri, Inc.
Immediately after graduating from trade school, Greg Vietri started his business as a small electrical jobbing shop working out of a residential garage in Coatesville in 1980. Over nearly four decades he has grown the business to become a large scale, multi-faceted electrical construction firm. In 1985 he expanded into a full service shop facility on Valley Road in Coatesville. After 20 years there, the location was unable to contain the growing business, causing Greg to purchase land at Meetinghouse Business Park in 2005. There, he constructed a 45,000 square foot building and in 2015 a separate 40,000 square foot additional building to meet the office, warehouse and maintenance needs of the rapidly expanding company.
From those humble beginnings, G.A. Vietri Inc. has grown to establish itself as a major force to service the needs of virtually all commercial, industrial electrical construction and emergency repair projects in the tri-state area. Greg is a partner in Northwestern Chester County Rentals, LLC, an equipment leasing company, as well as a real estate development project known as Valley View Business Park in Valley Township.
Greg is also actively involved in the Coatesville and greater western Chester County community. He currently serves as Vice President of the Western Chester County Chamber of Commerce while also actively participating in its various committees. He gives thanks to his father for instilling in him a strong work ethic and a desire to give back. He credits his success to having the good fortune of being surrounded by seasoned business professionals and skilled tradesmen who help him make good decisions every day.
