Cummins acquired the more than one million-square-foot facility in 1974, using it initially to manufacture engine components. Since building their first engine in 1981, production in recent years typically exceeds 100,000 engines annually. Jamestown is home to the production of Cummins heavy-duty engine technologies including the X15, ISX12, X12, ISM11 diesel engines and ISX12N natural gas engine as well as historically the ISX15 diesel engine and ISX12 G natural gas engine.

“We credit much of our success to the hard-working employees that commit themselves every day to provide products and services that meet or exceed our customers’ expectations,” said Anna Dibble, Cummins JEP Plant Manager. “They work to provide this company with quality products that we feel proud to stand behind.”

JEP employees are committed to an environment where the key values of integrity, diversity & inclusion, caring, excellence and teamwork encourage employees to work together to power a more prosperous world.

With 1,700 employees working in the facility, JEP has grown about 20 percent since 2012 and is the largest private employer in Chautauqua County, New York. International trade has been the single most important contributor to Cummins growth and hiring for nearly two decades. Half the company’s business is outside of the U.S. Because of its global presence and ability to export, Cummins suppliers, which are primarily small and medium-sized businesses, are also growing.

Cummins plans to hold an employee appreciation celebration in August at the Jamestown Engine Plant to recognize those who have made this outstanding accomplishment possible.
