Cummins Plant Wins State Honor for Environmental Excellence
NORTHAMPTON, MA | ACCESSWIRE | September 29, 2022 | Global power leader Cummins Inc.''s Columbus Mid-Range Engine Plant (CMEP) has received a 2022 Indiana governor''s environmental excellence award for a project reducing volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions by eliminating the plant''s painting operation. The change was made after an exhaustive, two-year study demonstrated the clear coating applied by the operation was providing little additional product protection. "It was a win any way you look at it: environmentally, financially, productivity, and quality," said Senior Industrial Engineer Clarissa Arriaga, who along with Current Product Senior Engineer Ashwini Khandelwal conducted the study that led to the change. "In today''s world we need to do whatever we can to make our engines the cleanest technology possible," Khandelwal added. The award was presented Sept. 21 during the state''s 25th Annual Pollution Prevention Conference in Indianapolis. CMEP was one of six entities honored at the event, joining other businesses, a school system, and public-private partnerships receiving awards this year.
