Today at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) along
with the Governor of Indiana and the Mayors of Columbus, Greenwood and
Indianapolis, announced plans to expand its presence along the “Cummins
Corridor” with new building projects and investment along I-65 in its
global headquarters in Columbus, in Greenwood and in Indianapolis,
Indiana.
Over the long-term the company projects continued global growth,
including in Indiana, where it currently employs over 10,000 people. To
address future growth expectations, Cummins is continuing to execute on
its plans to create work environments across the state that foster
growth and help attract and retain top talent.
As part of this plan, Cummins announced today that Columbus will be the
primary North American manufacturing center and corporate hub for the
Electrified Power Business with a significant presence at the Columbus
Engine Plant. It will also locate a new office building to serve as a
hub for digital and information technology employees in Greenwood. And
in Indianapolis, the company announced that it has renovated space at
the Salesforce tower and is in the process of building out additional
space at its Distribution Business headquarters in downtown Indianapolis.
“I am pleased to partner with the Governor and city and community
leaders to plan for future growth across Indiana so Cummins can continue
to have a positive impact on the economic and social vibrancy of our
Indiana communities for years to come,” said Tom Linebarger, Chairman
and CEO, Cummins Inc.
“Today is a significant milestone and a day of immense celebration as we
commemorate 100 strong years of Cummins operating in the Hoosier state
and look forward to 100 more,” said Gov. Holcomb. “Cummins has from
their beginning been a major force to Indiana’s strong advanced
manufacturing sector, and we are so grateful for their commitment to
continuous education and training for employees, particularly helping
prepare workers for the jobs of the future.”
“Since its inception in 1919, Cummins has partnered with Columbus to
provide jobs and quality of life opportunities for both their employees
and the residents of the City,” said Mayor Jim Lienhoop. “We’ve grown
together throughout the past century, with the understanding that what
affects one of us – impacts us all. We are delighted that Columbus will
be the primary North American manufacturing center and corporate hub for
the Electrified Power Business. This innovative business strategy is
something we’ve seen Cummins provide successfully throughout the past
100 years and are looking forward to continued partnership as they
design for the future.”
“I’m proud to welcome Cummins as Greenwood’s newest corporate citizen,”
said Greenwood Mayor Mark W. Myers. “Cummins has a storied history of
success, driving innovation in its industry and serving as a model for
meaningful community partnerships. Beyond the significant financial
investment from one of the world’s largest and most historic companies,
Greenwood will see an influx of several hundred new professional
employees averaging six-figure salaries. This is a considerable
achievement for our city and continues our significant economic
development momentum.”
“For 100 years, Cummins has demonstrated its strong commitment to our
community and the state of Indiana. From its headquarters in Columbus,
to its state-of-the-art distribution center in the heart of
downtown, Cummins continues to invest in the growth and success of our
city. Today’s announcement expands the global company’s presence in the
Mile Square, and paves the way to create more jobs and attract top
talent to Indianapolis.”
