MISSION STATEMENT
Introduction
Cummins Inc., headquartered in Columbus, Indiana, is a global power leader and industrial technology
pioneer. Founded in 1919 by Clessie Cummins and backed by William G. Irwin, the corporation has served as
a foundational architect of global logistics, commercial transport, and industrial infrastructure for over a
century. Cummins designs, manufactures, distributes, and services a highly comprehensive power portfolio.
This spans advanced diesel, natural gas, electric, and hybrid powertrains, alongside powertrain components
including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls, and automated transmissions.
Operating through five core business segments—Engine, Distribution, Components, Power Systems, and
Accelera by Cummins—the enterprise balances traditional manufacturing dominance with forward-looking
sustainable technology.

quality impacts of its products, aiming to reach net-zero emissions across its operations and products by

solutions that protect critical infrastructure, data centers, hospitals, and municipal grids worldwide.
