Cummins employees across the country, however, continued to seek and secure ways to help their communities.  In March, for example, Cummins Generator Technologies (CGT) in Wuxi joined efforts to secure critical supplies for those in need in Shuofang and Jixiang, two neighboring communities of Wuxi.
