The Cummins Engine Company started in Columbus, Indiana, in 1919 by a local mechanic named Clessie Cummins. The original focus of the company was to develop diesel engines, but despite their best efforts, it was not until 1933 when diesel engines started being used successfully. However, all the engines that the company had created were being used in railroad switchers and it made that engine the leader of road building after World War II in the United States. Cummins started an assembly plant in the sixties in Scotland, and in just a few short decades they had expanded internationally on a major scale. Products offered by Cummins include engines, power generation, Turbo technologies, filtration and more.
