Cummins Inc. marks a golden anniversary for its Jamestown Engine Plant (JEP), a facility at the forefront of engine manufacturing for the past five decades. JEP has produced 2.5 million engines and consistently sets industry benchmarks for quality, efficiency, and sustainability.
“Celebrating 50 years of the Jamestown Engine Plant is a proud moment for all of us at Cummins,” said Jennifer Rumsey, Chair and CEO. She attributed the plant’s success to its dedicated workforce and the supportive Jamestown community. "We are uniquely positioned to build upon the decades of experience in designing and manufacturing industry-leading products here in Jamestown, including our industry’s first heavy-duty X15N engine launching this year. As we look to the future with our Destination Zero strategy and Cummins HELMTM platforms, I am excited about our continued journey towards providing sustainable power solutions with Jamestown playing a critical role."
JEP has consistently adapted to market demands, pioneering advancements in engine technology that reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency.
Cummins recently invested $452 million to make the Jamestown facility produce the industry’s first fuel-agnostic internal combustion engine platform.
This platform allows for various lower carbon fuels, including natural gas, and aligns with Cummins' Destination Zero strategy for a sustainable future.
“We are uniquely positioned to build upon the decades of experience in designing and manufacturing industry-leading products here in Jamestown,” Rumsey said. This year, JEP will launch the industry’s first heavy-duty X15N engine, a testament to this commitment.
JEP is deeply invested in the Jamestown community. The plant contributes $1 million annually through charitable donations and employee volunteer hours.
JEP's innovative work and high-quality products reflect Cummins' dedication to a sustainable future with a long-lasting global impact.
As JEP celebrates this milestone, Cummins remains focused on the future. The plant will continue to be a leader in sustainable power solutions, ensuring its place as a cornerstone of Cummins' global manufacturing network.
