JAMESTOWN – Officials with Cummins Engine have announced a major expansion.<\/p>\n

According to a release from the Chautauqua County Industrial Development Agency, the Cummins Jamestown Engine Plant (JEP) has secured a significant capital investment to install a new block machining line into its current Jamestown facility.<\/p>\n

Preparation for the new line began in May, with the start of production expected in 2017. The company estimates a total direct investment in the New York plant of approximately $94 million over 3 years in connection with the project and other related facility upgrades.<\/p>\n

Once in place, the new line will produce cylinder blocks currently being manufactured offshore by a supplier in Germany. Officials say the new line will take up 40,000 square feet within the existing Cummins plant.<\/p>\n

County development officials say the investment represents a vote of confidence in manufacturing in the Jamestown plant, and allows Cummins to further optimize the efficiency and agility of its supply chain.<\/p>\n

The investment also provides for job creation and retention of 41 jobs to operate the line in the Jamestown facility.<\/p>\n

The Jamestown Engine Plant manufactures more than 100,000 engines for the heavy-truck market, and currently provides engines for approximately 35 percent of all Class 8 trucks in North America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
