The chopper division was bought by the Union Manufacturing Co. who built the meat and food choppers until the U.S. Government closed down most of the foundries in the U.S.A. in 1984. Universal bought the chopper business in 1984. Today, Universal is a leader in manufacturing traditional-style kitchen tools and appliances.
