Cummins Inc. is expanding its High-Horsepower Technical Center and high-horsepower engine product line at its manufacturing facility in Seymour. Announced by Mark Levett, Vice President and General Manager – High-Horsepower Business, the expansion of the center will provide the company with more opportunities for producing high-horsepower clean-diesel and natural gas engines in the future. Cummins plans to invest approximately $100 million in the expansion at the Seymour plant, which is expected to result in approximately 200 engineering and manufacturing jobs over the next five years. The plant currently employs nearly 450 people.
The Company also announced today that it has changed the name of the facility to the Seymour Engine Plant, from the Cummins Industrial Center. The new name is consistent with the Company’s practice at many of its major engine manufacturing locations elsewhere.
The technical center expansion will almost double the current engineering footprint in the facility and increase Cummins high-horsepower mechanical development capability. Other capital expenditures will include additional equipment, test cells and other facility upgrades. Preparations for the technical center expansion are scheduled to start immediately, and construction is expected to be complete by mid-2011.
