Cummins and the Jamestown plant. We told you about it five years ago on the occasion of the two millionth engine with the red livery.

And now it’s time to celebrate again for Cummins and Jamestown

Fifty candles on the cake, yeah. Since its establishment in 1974, the Jamestown engine plant has been at the forefront of engine manufacturing, recently celebrating the production of its 2.5 millionth engine (basically 100,000 engines per year since 2019), and continually sets industry standards for quality, efficiency and innovation. The plant’s success is a testament to the hard work and dedication of its employees, past and present, and the support of the Jamestown community. Founded on the northeast bank of the James River in the early 1600s, in, Virginia, it is a place where the pioneering United States has its roots. The Jamestown engine plant has continually evolved to meet the changing needs of the market, pioneering advancements in engine technology that reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency. Its state-of-the-art facilities and commitment to research and development have made it a key player in Cummins’ global operations. Cummins recently announced a $452 million investment into the 998,000-square-foot Jamestown facility to produce the industry’s first fuel-agnostic internal combustion engine platform.

Quoting the CEO and Chair

Celebrating 50 years of the Jamestown Engine Plant is a proud moment for all of us at Cummins,” said Jennifer Rumsey, Cummins Chair and CEO. “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.
