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.”
