What MP Nexlevel does

MP Nexlevel LLC is a full-service utility construction contractor founded in 1973, headquartered in Maple Lake, Minnesota, and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of APi Group. The company delivers aerial and underground construction services for communications, power, and gas infrastructure across more than 32 states (with licensing in 38), including fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) buildouts, directional drilling, plowing, trenching, splicing, rock sawing, and hydro excavating. Permanent regional offices are located in Minnesota, Texas, California, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, and Arizona, and the fleet includes 40+ directional drill rigs. Marquee customers include AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, T-Mobile, Sprint, Xcel Energy, CenterPoint Energy, Google, Windstream, and Zayo Group, with contract values ranging from $1,000 service work to multi-million dollar communications and renewable-energy projects. The renewable-energy vertical covers wind farm and solar farm collection grid construction, with a proprietary one-pass cable trench service optimized for collection systems and SCADA fiber installations.

The company's revenue-generating structure is organized into four operational pillars: (i) Specialty Services (core plowing, drilling, trenching, and aerial construction), (ii) MPN Technology Solutions — launched in 1996 — providing enterprise-grade integrated technology services across mobile wireless, building systems, data center, and information systems, (iii) MP Mobile Solutions (MPMS) — launched in 2011 — focused on turn-key DAS installation, RF study and design, carrier-agnostic consulting, and alternative funding assistance, and (iv) Wright Service Center (WSC), an internal fleet and equipment maintenance and fabrication operation. Technology differentiation is anchored in iBwave-certified RF design, IBwave/Cisco Meraki partnerships, a network of 18+ technology vendor relationships (Axis, Bosch, Genetec, Berk-Tek, Leviton, HP, VMware, Veeam, Extron, etc.), and in-house metal fabrication for custom equipment. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with a dedicated Vice President of Business Development, complemented by organic social, trade association membership (50+ associations including FTTH Council and American Public Power Association), and customer testimonial-driven referral. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific. Rob Pribyl serves as President, having joined the company in 1989; four Regional Vice Presidents (Schermer, Buchholz, Hanson, Sturtz) and a Safety Director round out the named leadership team.
