AmCham Kraków: High Horse Power Cummins Master Rebuild Center Tour

EVENT DETAILS
“No replacement for displacement” — this old adage has long been outdated when it comes to passenger cars. But what about industrial applications? And what about the “death of diesel engines” that’s been announced so many times already? In the industrial world, the story looks very different.
On Monday morning, the AmCham Kraków community, with Mateusz Jurczyk, AmCham Kraków Branch Director, had the chance to learn just that during a visit to the Cummins Inc. Master Rebuild Center in Modlniczka. Huge thanks to Marek Matuszewski and his team, who guided us through Cummins’ history and their operations today. Many of us were surprised to see just how essential large diesel engines remain for industries like mining, marine, construction, defense and many more.
The highlight? A tour of the Master Rebuild Center, where we witnessed Cummins specialists meticulously disassemble and rebuild engines — bringing them back to full life in just a matter of days. It’s worth noting that Kraków’s facility is the only Cummins rebuild center of its kind in Europe.
A big thank you to the Cummins Inc. team for hosting us and answering all our questions. And thank you as well to everyone who joined, including Gretchen McKeever Cureton and Sharayah Heidenhein from the U.S. Consulate in Kraków.
