Cummins Inc. has confirmed that it has started the process of cutting jobs worldwide to navigate what company officials project will be a cyclical downturn in business this year.
In November, Cummins announced plans to reduce its global workforce by around 2,000 employees, or 3%, by the end of March due to declining revenue and weakening markets in North America, China, India, among other markets.
Cummins officials, however, wouldn’t say how many jobs are expected to be cut in Columbus.
“The reduction in force has started, and we still anticipate it will be complete by the end of this quarter,” said Katie Zarich, Cummins manager of external communications.
