Cummins Turbo Technologies, formerly known as Holset Turbochargers, officially opened its newest manufacturing plant in Charleston last Friday.

The business, a division of Columbus, Ind.-based Cummins Inc., is headquartered in Huddersfield, England, and is one of the world's largest manufacturers of turbochargers for diesel engines.
The new 110,000-square-foot plant will produce turbochargers for heavy-duty engines and will complement the company's existing manufacturing facility in Charleston. The new plant, built at a cost of approximately $13 million, is expected to eventually employ about 180 workers and produce 200,000 turbochargers a year.
