Cummins

 In 1913, Cummins Machine Work was formed in Indiana, the founder of the company is Clessie Lyle Cummins, who worked as a bank driver with the financial support of banker and politician William Glanton Irwin, and on February 3, 1919 Cummins Engine Company was founded.

These two completely different people met for the first time in 1908, when Irwin needed an experienced auto mechanic to service and repair his own car. Irwin later supported the talented self-taught mechanic when he decided to open his own business. During the First World Car Repair Company, Clessy Cummins managed to receive several extremely profitable government orders. By that time, Klessey was absolutely convinced that the new technology proposed by Rudolph Diesel in the 90s of the nineteenth century would revolutionize the design of internal combustion engines, providing fuel and resource indicators unattainable for gasoline engines. To begin work on a new type of engine, Cummins acquires a patent.

In the 50s in America there was a massive construction of highways with high-quality coating. Cummins engines were installed on bulldozers, excavators and graders and tractors that delivered construction equipment to the sites. Drivers and owners needed an economical, powerful, sturdy engine, and the Cummins were just what they needed. After conducting a series of laboratory research and testing in 1954, the company announced a technological breakthrough: a serial engine with a fuel and time metering system was introduced. A few years later, Summins annually supplied products worth more than $ 100 million and became a leader among manufacturers of industrial engines.

 Widely recognized in their country, Cummins seeks to expand its presence outside the United States. An attempt is being made to build new industries. In 1956, in Scotland, the first plant was built in the city of Scotts. In the early 60s, Cummins built several plants in Europe, Australia, Brazil, India, Mexico and Japan. After 10 years, there were 2,500 Cummins dealerships and service centers in 98 countries worldwide. Thanks to the hard work, the company managed to conquer markets on all continents.Meanwhile, at home, in the USA, urgent tasks appeared. There was a tendency to unite manufacturers of trucks and engines to unite in holdings. For example, Detroit Diesel is part of the Freightliner. In 1963, Cummins also tried to merge with White Motors, but in the end, nothing came of it. Cummins remains the only independent engine manufacturer to this day. The company's marketing services have estimated that the day is not far off when demand for super-powerful engines will gradually decline. Cummins is taking steps to monopolize the potential market in the small engine segment.
