Engine manufacturer Cummins has reported a record-breaking second quarter of 2023 thanks to strong sales increases and demand across most global markets.
The company recorded record revenues of $8.6 billion in the second quarter ending June 30, 2023, an increase of 31 percent from the same quarter in 2022. Sales in North America increased by 31 percent, while international revenues jumped 32 percent due to the addition of Meritor and generally improved demand.

I want to thank our Cummins employees who continue to work tirelessly to meet customer needs and respond to the strong demand levels by ensuring quality products, strengthening our customer relationships, and navigating continued supply chain constraints."
