Cummins Just Produced Two Millionth Heavy Duty Engine at Jamestown Plant
by Starlight Generator dieselgeneratortechOn July 2018, Cummins Inc. (NYSE:CMI) announced the production of the two millionth engine at its Jamestown Engine Plant (JEP) in Jamestown, New York. JEP remains one of the company’s largest manufacturing facilities; it accounted for 14.7 percent of Cummins total engine production in 2017.
Cummins acquired the more than
one million-square-foot facility in 1974, using it initially to manufacture
engine components. Since building their first engine in 1981, production in
recent years typically exceeds 100,000 engines annually. Jamestown is home to
the production of Cummins heavy-duty engine technologies including the X15,
ISX12, X12, ISM11 diesel engines and ISX12N natural gas engine as well as
historically the ISX15 diesel engine and ISX12 G natural gas engine.
"We credit much of our success to the hard-working employees that commit themselves every day to provide products and services that meet or exceed our customers’ expectations," said Anna Dibble, Cummins JEP Plant Manager. "They work to provide this company with quality products that we feel proud to stand behind. They are also committed to improving where they live, JEP annually contributes $1 million back to the community through charitable donations."
JEP employees are committed to an
environment where the key values of integrity, diversity & inclusion,
caring, excellence and teamwork encourage employees to work together to power a
more prosperous world.
With 1,700 employees working in
the facility, JEP has grown about 20 percent since 2012 and is the largest
private employer in Chautauqua County, New York. International trade has been
the single most important contributor to Cummins growth and hiring for nearly
two decades. Half the company’s business is outside of the U.S. Because of its
global presence and ability to export, Cummins suppliers, which are primarily
small and medium-sized businesses, are also growing.
"Jamestown Engine Plant
plays an important role in our company's ability to produce a broad range of
engines for different customers around the world serving a wide variety of
markets," said Brett Merritt, Cummins Vice-President On-Highway Engine
Business.
"From the first engine built
at the plant in 1981 to our innovative technologies today, which have reduced
emissions by 98 percent, JEP provides engines that offer solutions that
represent the strength of our company and the power, reliability and durability
customers have come to expect with a Cummins heavy-duty engine. We will continue
to invest in innovations in our diesel and natural gas products, and JEP will
be important to Cummins, our customers and our OEM partners for many decades to
come.”
Two of our valued customers,
Navistar and Penske Truck Leasing, are the recipients of Cummins two millionth
engine.
"Navistar and Cummins have a
strong history of working together to serve our customers," said Michael
Cancelliere, President, Truck and Parts, Navistar. "Navistar is excited
that Cummins’ two millionth engine is going to one of our mutual customers in
our International® LT Series truck. We look forward to continuing our
partnership with Cummins to bring value to our customers."
