Wabco Expands Cummins Joint Venture
Wabco Holdings Inc. has expanded its joint venture with Cummins Inc. through a long-term contract to manufacture and supply high-performance air-compressor technology globally.
Brussels-based Wabco said the deal makes it the exclusive supplier to Cummins in North America for air compressors applied in trucks, buses and industrial equipment. The agreement, Wabco said, also significantly expands the volume and variety of demand for its air-compression technologies at Cummins’ facilities in South America, Europe and India, with incremental opportunities for growth in Asia.
“Cummins diesel engines set industry standards for innovation, power and reliability, and we’re proud that Wabco’s technology leadership will help to advance their new engine programs globally, particularly through high-output, energy-efficient air-compression performance,” Jon Morrison, Wabco’s president of the Americas, said in a statement.
Located in Charleston, South Carolina, Wabco compressor manufacturing is majority-owned by Wabco in partnership with Cummins since 1998, Wabco said.
