Maryann has never been one to compromise who she is. Her self-awareness and self-confidence are what brought her, unexpectedly, to Cummins in 2015.  In college, Maryann worked on campus with an environmental regulation compliance team that managed the school's health, safety, and environment (HSE) as she worked toward her master’s degree in chemical engineering at the Florida Institute of

What is a diesel engine's lifespan? Diesel engines are robust machines that have longer lifespans than you might expect.

The decades of knowledge Cummins Inc has accumulated des

Advanced diesel engines are some of the most fuel and energy-efficient options in the market, but those are just the beginning of their advantages. Some of their advantages are emotional. For a hundred years, people have been firing up a diesel engine to start their work day. But the environmental impact of that economy is now under increasing regulations. Innovative aftertreatment systems and cut

For over 30 years, the Columbus Mid-Range Engine Plant (CMEP) has built the heavy-duty diesel engine for pickup trucks and coated it in a rust-preventative. In 2021, this coating was eliminated, making manufacturing cleaner for the popular engine. Despite how sophisticated a painted Cummins Inc. diesel engine may look, painting engines hasn’t always been for the dashing looks, cool style, and f

E-waste is the world’s fastest-growing domestic waste stream, according to the United Nations; yet, less than 18% of electronics are collected and recycled. Community recycling days are helping to change that by limiting what ends up in landfills, incinerators and other means of waste disposal. Once a year, however, Cummins Inc. provides the place, manpower, and funding to oversee the proper, safe

After three years, understanding the values of Cummins fit so well with her personal and career goals, when it was time to

A 2021 study by McKinsey & Company explores the reality many companies in the mining industry are working to address: underrepresentation of women in the industry. Cummins has long prioritized diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) and aspired to a workforce that is representative at every level of the communities in which it operates around the world. The mining industry is a powerful exa

As wildfires, floods, and rising temperatures become more frequent, the need for sustainable, environmentally friendly solutions in manufacturing grows.
