V. M. Choppy and Sons LLC

V. M. CHOPPY & SONS, LLC has been providing quality fabricating services for over 40 years to the Capital District and beyond.

Vince Choppy and his wife Anne founded V. M. Choppy & Sons in their Voorheesville garage in 1978 when Vince began welding together wood-burning stoves for his friends and neighbors. Two years and 200 stoves later, the business expanded to include aftermarket auto body panels and sheet-metal animal feeders.

When asked the secret of their success, Vince and Anne point to “hard work and a commitment to customer relationships.” Vince feels he has consistently shown clients how to improve product solutions in a more cost-effective way with improved quality. “This is the value-added component that keeps customers coming back and referring others.”

Today V. M. Choppy & Sons employs more than thirty fabricators, welders, and craftsmen in a 30,000 square-foot plant on Van Buren Street in South Troy. Vince and Anne’s two sons, Vincent J. (Vinny) and Matthew J. (Matt), have been active in the family sheet metal fabrication business since adolescence. Vinny handles estimating and purchasing, and Matt is the plant maintenance, shipping, and receiving supervisor.
