Cummins To Relocate Its U.K. Generator Assembly Operations To India And China

(RTTNews) - Cummins Inc. (CMI) announced the company is reorganizing manufacturing operations, as part of its plan to adjust to weak global demand for power generation equipment. Over the next 24 months, Cummins plans to relocate its generator set assembly operations located in Kent, U.K. to Daventry, U.K., Phaltan, India and Wuhan, China. The footprint of the Cummins Kent site will be reduced as it is transformed into a regional distribution and logistics center.

"By relocating our U.K. generator assembly operations to other locations, we can better balance our capacity with demand, and leverage our global supply chain strengths," said Rich Freeland, COO.
