Industrial Solutions - Cummins Midrange Engine Plant

Telamon employees from the Industrial Solutions business unit had the pleasure of visiting the Cummins Midrange Engine Plant (CMEP) in Walesboro, Indiana in February. Employees were divided into 4 different groups and were able to see one of the locations where Telamon assemblies are installed on Cummins diesel engines. Upon arrival, the Telamon groups were surprised to see a very interesting and unique facility because operations are under ground level and parking is on the roof. During the tours, employees were able to observe highly sophisticated manufacturing technologies from the engine blocks, the short block and long block lines where over 400 components are assembled onto the engine, and the paint process for engines.

CMEP manufactures the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel engine that is primarily used in the Dodge Ram pickup truck. In December 2013, CMEP was recognized for building the 2 millionth pickup engine for Chrysler. The first truck that came off the Chrysler assembly line in 1988 with a Cummins diesel engine is also on display at CMEP. 

What a great experience for our Industrial Solutions employees!
