Cummins Engines and Power Systems

Cummins Inc. is a global leader in power solutions, renowned primarily for its high-performance diesel and natural gas engines. Founded in 1919 in Columbus, Indiana, by Clessie Cummins and William Glanton Irwin, the company has grown from a local engine manufacturer into a Fortune 500 multinational corporation. Its products power a vast array of machinery, including heavy-duty trucks, buses, construction equipment, marine vessels, and power generators.

The brand's manufacturing footprint is truly global, with major production facilities located in the United States (Indiana, New York, North Carolina, and South Carolina), as well as significant international operations in China, India, Brazil, Mexico, and the United Kingdom. Cummins remains an independent, publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: CMI), meaning its ultimate ownership lies with its diverse group of institutional and individual investors rather than a parent automotive conglomerate.
