APL was established by veteran industrial and commercial electrical contractors Mark Donovan and Ryan Toland.  As longtime leaders in the electrical contracting industry in the greater Boston area, the founders sought to combine their substantial experience in all aspects of electrical engineering and contracting.  Since its inception, APL has successfully completed over 1,000 commercial and industrial projects ranging in size from small construction to multimillion dollar developments.

The principals of APL are Mark Donovan and Ryan Toland. Mark and Ryan both hold Master Electricians licenses and have several years experience as electricians, general foremen, estimators, and project managers. The primary source of labor for APL projects are electrical workers from IBEW Local 103.
