Rick Cuppetilli (Executive Vice President) Adamo Demolition (Adamo Group) is a Detroit-based asbestos remediation and demolition company founded in 1964 that specializes in industrial projects.
In 1978, the company won a case in the United States Supreme Court that led to reformed NESHAP regulations.
[10][11] By 2019, Adamo Group had demolished 3,397 buildings for the city of Detroit, earning over $56 million.
[12] Adamo Group was a suspect in an FBI investigation into corruption involving Detroit City demolition officials and contractors in the city's blight-removal program;[13] the report determined that no rules in bid selection were infringed, but that their closed-door meeting practices "lacked fairness, openness, and transparency.
"[14] They later were suspended for 90 days from bidding on Detroit demolition contracts, and again received negative publicity in association with the blight-removal program again when they accidentally demolished a house neighboring their intended project.
