Cummins Turbo Technologies, a business unit of global power company Cummins, celebrated the expansion of its new turbo remanufacturing operations in North Charleston, South Carolina.
Remanufacturing is an important part of Cummins’ environmental sustainability strategy, which it calls Destination Zero. Remanufacturing will allow the company to “use less, use better and use again,” it said, while presenting an environmentally friendly option to replace a turbo. Additionally, by salvaging roughly 70 percent of the turbo’s metal by weight, remanufacturing greatly reduces the global impact from mining and refining those metals.
Cummins’ $27 million investment in the remanufacturing facility will create more than 250 new jobs for the local community. The new facility will remanufacture used turbochargers that will meet the same specifications as new turbos. Each remanufactured turbo will go through an equivalent validation process to ensure they meet the dependability and performance expectations of Cummins’ customers.
