Al Gleeson Electrical Co., Inc. is a third-generation family-owned electrical and plumbing contractor founded in 1954 by Aloysius X. Gleeson. Originally starting from the Gleeson family's home in Washington, D.C., the company has steadily grown and relocated to its current Bladensburg address in the mid-1960s. Over the decades, the company has successfully transitioned from motor repairs and electrical services for local grocery stores to specializing in complex electrical projects for critical businesses, including major food distribution centers, grocery stores, and food processing plants. A notable example of their expertise is their partnership with Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream, where they managed electrical projects for one of the world’s largest ice cream production facilities.
The company's legacy continues today under the leadership of Aloysius E. Gleeson, who became President and COO in 1997. Gleeson Electric is known for its commitment to quality craftsmanship and strong client relationships, having forged longstanding partnerships with major grocery chains such as Giant Food and Wegmans Food Markets. Their success is attributed to a highly skilled workforce, including talented Master Plumbers who joined the company in 2006, expanding their service offerings to plumbing.
Gleeson Electric operates throughout the mid-Atlantic region, showing proficiency in both electrical and plumbing services for various industries, including grocery, food processing, and commercial sectors. With a firm belief in upholding high safety and quality standards, it's no surprise that they have earned a reputation as a go-to contractor for complex and critical projects. Their adherence to the family-owned business values of integrity and long-term relationships sets them apart in the competitive contracting landscape.
