Cummins Inc. has announced a number of leadership changes to build upon the Company’s strong performance and better position Cummins for future profitable and sustainable growth.

Rich Freeland will assume the role of president and chief operating officer for Cummins, reporting to Tom Linebarger, who will remain chairman and chief executive officer. In his new role, Freeland will focus on the company’s daily operations to ensure that the company meets its financial, customer, and operating commitments.

Freeland has been the Engine Business president for Cummins since 2010 overseeing development, manufacturing, marketing and sales for the Company’s largest business unit.

During Freeland’s tenure leading the Engine Business, he oversaw revenue growth from $6.4B in 2010 to over $10B in 2013, a record number of new products launched that have helped Cummins’ customers succeed, and the creation and expansion of numerous global partnerships that have extended the Company’s lead in existing and new markets across the globe, according to the company.

“Rich has a deep understanding of Cummins’ business, people, customers, and markets, which will be invaluable in his new role,” said Linebarger. “As someone who has been with Cummins since 1979, and has successfully led three of our four business units over the years, Rich knows what it takes to be dependable every time for our customers across the globe.”

Dave Crompton will succeed Freeland as president of the Engine Business. For more than 25 years, Crompton has been a major force driving transformation and growth in the Engine Business through a variety of roles he has held in the business. Most recently, Crompton led the heavy-duty mid-range and light-duty segment of the Engine Business. In that role, Crompton successfully led the integration of the heavy-, medium- and light-duty engine businesses into one seamless, global organization for the first time at Cummins and through strong execution helped this area realize strong operational efficiency, cost reduction and financial performance, according to the company.

“During both good and challenging economic times, Dave has successfully developed and led teams that continuously improved the products, processes and services that our customers depend on for their success,” said Linebarger. “Dave has helped our engine business expand global partnerships, improve quality and navigate through some of the most strategic and economic challenges our Company has faced. Dave is an outstanding choice to lead our largest business unit profitably and sustainably into the future.”
