We don’t just sell #1 Copper Chops—we use them. As a foundry that runs its own furnaces, we understand the importance of metallurgical integrity. That’s why our FedMet #copper chops meet the same standards we demand for ourselves: clean, consistent, and engineered for melting, alloying, and casting with minimal downstream issues.

In 1960, our then nearly 50-year old company needed a new plant. So 65 years ago today, this hand-drawn sketch laid out our future.⠀
⠀
We’ve evolved immensely since, but this location is still our home, where every move forward is shaped by more than a century of experience.⠀
⠀
From the past. For the future.

In Oxfordshire, England, this couple built an avant-garde home entirely clad in #copper, named "Copper Bottom." Beyond its striking appearance, the copper cladding provides durability and solar protection. The eco-friendly design includes photovoltaic panels and air source heat pumps, making the home energy-efficient and inspiring for #sustainable architecture enthusiasts. ⠀
