Our bronze foundry is one of only a few, artist-owned foundries left in America. Started in 1970, Shoop’s American Bronze Casting, Ltd. began by making custom bronze statues for recognition awards.  While trophies and award plaques remain a large part of our business, as a full-service foundry we also carry many specialty bronze items like bronze eagles, Remington bronze statues, architectural accents, and custom art casting for artists and the architectural industry. All of our products are handmade in America.  As with most business endeavors, Shoop’s has had its share of challenges from a fire that destroyed the building to rocky economic conditions yet one thing remains constant about our business, our commitment to making high quality bronze art.  Throughout Shoop’s thirty-plus year history Wally has worked diligently developing and growing his corporation. He encourages steady, thoughtful growth, yet insists that production be limited to that level enabling strict quality control. A keen sense of standards and ethical business codes permits the artist to inspect each casting before release to the customer.
