Founded in a Voorheesville garage in 1978 making wood-burning stoves, V.M. Choppy & Sons now provides precision sheet-metal fabrication and processing from a 30,000-square-foot Troy plant. The family-owned company employs more than 30 fabricators, welders, and craftsmen, with the Choppy family’s second and emerging third generations working in the business. It handles projects from engineering and forming through finishing, packaging, and delivery, with a particular emphasis on quick-turn fabrication measured in hours and days rather than weeks.
