Merger to create new entity for distribution of Cummins equipment

Cummins Cal Pacific and Cummins West will merge into a single entity, effective Sept. 28, 2013, the companies announced. Cummins Pacific will serve California and Hawaii as exclusive distributor for Cummins Inc.

The new Cummins Pacific combines the territories of both Cummins West and Cummins Cal Pacific, bringing all 12 existing service centers under the new name. Service center locations will continue to provide the same level of sales, technical support and customer service during their regular business hours as the merger takes place, the new company said.

“It’s exciting that employees of these two companies are coming under a single company to represent California and Hawaii,” said Mark Yragui, president, Cummins Cal Pacific. “Our states are a focal point for clean-air initiatives and green energy. Our new company will allow us even greater focus on the application of Cummins products to this expanding market," said Yragui. "Building on the high standards already achieved by Cummins West and Cummins Cal Pacific to date will make this mission all the more achievable."

Yragui will serve as president of the new company.
