Cummins is an American multinational corporation that designs, manufactures, and distributes engines, filtration, and power generation products. The company was founded in Indiana on February 3, 1919, by William Glanton Irwin, a banker, and Clessie Cummins, a local mechanic. It focused on developing the diesel engine invented 20 years earlier.
Cummins Power Systems Business Unit consists of Alternators, Automatic Transfer Switches, Commercial Power Systems, Consumer Systems, Engines, and Paralleling Systems. Cummins Power Systems is a global provider of power generation systems, components and services in standby power, distributed power generation, as well as auxiliary power in mobile applications. All of the above solutions stem from Cummins Onan, of which products are still in service today. This Business Unit was formed recently, following a merge of the Power Generation Unit and High Horsepower Sub-Division.
