Dear Valued Customer and Supplier, 

Both at work and in our personal lives, this pandemic has interrupted our communities through illness, disruption of services, and significant modifications in the way that we live, learn and work. Cummins continues to plan for and respond to the unique and dynamic challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.   

There have been many impacts to our sites and across our supply chain. We have been working to ensure our end users, dealers and OEMs have a continuous flow of parts and equipment to keep essential businesses up and running, and to assure business continuity, while keeping our employees safe and healthy.  

At Cummins, we have enhanced and effective health and safety procedures in place at our sites to protect our employees, customers and all guests. In addition to the many measures already in place, all employees and on-site guests are being asked to wear face coverings in the shop, office and field.  

For any visit to a site, we ask that you continue to reach out to your Cummins representative prior to your visit to ensure your experience is safe and productive.  

Our goal is to continue operating our business and serving you safely, effectively and with minimal disruption. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your business partner. In the meantime, we will continue to keep you updated. 

Gracias.

Our highest priority is the health and safety of our employees. Employees in many impacted areas are working from home in those functions where this can be accomplished. Cummins also strictly follows local government requirements, as well as our internal health and safety policies, to protect our employees. Those steps include but are not limited to providing protective wear and disinfection supplies for employees working on-site, and ensuring the sanitation and disinfection of Cummins facilities regularly.

Cummins currently has region-specific travel bans in place as well as a global travel restriction. Visits by external parties such as customers and suppliers to Cummins facilities may be limited. We continue to assess these policies as conditions evolve to ensure the health and safety of our employees.

As an example of our employees' efforts to build a stronger company and stronger communities around the world, read about the more than 500,000 protective masks procured by Cummins employees for their fellow employees in China during the current pandemic.
