In the following 30 years, Cummins has owned 9 companies and more than 20 institutions through sole proprietorships and joint ventures in China.

In the past two years, Cummins’ turnover in China has continuously exceeded US$1 billion, which accounts for more than 10% of its global business. China has become one of the fastest growing overseas markets in the world.
