What C. Abbonizio Contractors does

C. Abbonizio Contractors, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned heavy construction contractor headquartered at 1850 Hurffville Road, Deptford, New Jersey, with a mailing address in Sewell, NJ. Founded by Carl Abbonizio in 1968 in Pennsylvania as C. Abbonizio and Sons, the company relocated and incorporated in New Jersey in 1973, broadening its service mix from site development and excavation into highway construction, sanitary and storm sewer systems, water main systems, handicap ramps, and concrete and asphalt paving. The firm serves government, transportation, utilities, commercial, industrial, institutional, gaming, and hospitality clients across New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

The company operates a construction equipment fleet with an original value of over $60 million, including electronically guided paving and milling machines, excavators, bulldozers (D-3 through D-9), backhoe-loaders, graders, and rough terrain cranes up to 40 M/T, supporting simultaneous execution of multi-site and specialty projects. CAC maintains state-level pre-qualifications with unlimited capacity ratings at the New Jersey and Pennsylvania Departments of Transportation, the New Jersey and Pennsylvania Turnpike Authorities, SEPTA, the NJ Department of Environmental Protection, and the New Jersey Schools Development Authority. Service capabilities span site development, highway and bridge construction, landfill construction (over $200 million in completed work across six counties), sanitary and storm systems, water main systems, concrete and asphalt paving, casino construction, industrial construction, institutional construction, airports, and railwork.

The business model is project-based: revenue is generated through competitive bidding on government infrastructure contracts under pre-qualification frameworks and through direct engagement with commercial, institutional, gaming, and industrial clients. Notable projects include the $53.7 million Revel Casino in Atlantic City, the $36 million Foxwoods Lot 9 Expansion for the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, the $19.9 million SEPTA Frazer Shop & Yard Expansion, the $17.25 million PennDOT Germantown Avenue reconstruction, and the $42 million I-295 Phase 1 project. Annual gross sales exceed $65 million, up from $5 million at inception. In 2009, leadership transitioned to the founder's son as President, with Anthony Abbonizio as Senior Vice President and James Abbonizio as Vice President; founder Carl Abbonizio remains active as Chairman of the Board and company consultant.
