Cummins Inc in Indianapolis has a rich history dating back to 1919 when it was founded by Clessie L. Cummins. The company started as a small engine manufacturer and has since grown into a global leader in the industry.
The company's early success was largely due to its innovative approach to engine design and manufacturing. This led to a significant increase in production and the establishment of a strong presence in the market.
In the 1950s, Cummins began to expand its operations and establish a global presence. This was marked by the opening of its first international office in the UK. Today, Cummins has a significant presence in over 190 countries around the world.

Cummins Inc. Headquarters
The Cummins Inc. Headquarters is located in Columbus, Indiana, not Indianapolis. However, Cummins has a significant presence in Indianapolis, where it operates a major manufacturing facility.
The headquarters is situated on a 375-acre campus in Columbus, which is also home to the Cummins Engine Plant, a major manufacturing facility.
Cummins was founded in Columbus in 1919 by William G. Irwin and Clessie L. Cummins.
Cummins Inc. Developments
Cummins has broken ground in Indianapolis, marking a significant step towards creating a dynamic headquarters for its Distribution Business.
The new facility will provide a warm and inviting space for employees and visitors, contributing to the downtown landscape.
Cummins' President of the Distribution Business, Tony Satterthwaite, is thrilled about the project, which will also help revitalize the near-eastside of Indianapolis.
The facility will serve as the new headquarters for Cummins' global distribution business, handling sales, service, and support of Cummins products.
About 90 people currently working at other Indianapolis locations will relocate to the new facility, along with approximately 160 others who currently work at Cummins' corporate headquarters in Columbus.
Cummins built the facility with room to grow, accommodating up to 450 employees.
The company has no set timetable for adding to its Indianapolis workforce, but the new building is designed to attract a different type of employee who prefers an urban environment.
Cummins exceeded its initial $30 million development estimate, but the total project costs remain undisclosed.
The facility features an acre of public green space along East Washington Street and a first-floor public retail space set to open later this year.
Cummins' new building is designed to maximize daylight and offer abundant views, with a glass facade that is calibrated to cover floor plates that widen as the structure rises.
The company is committed to Columbus, where about 80 percent of its Indiana employees work, and its headquarters remains in the city.
