Together these diverse industries represent a major growth opportunity and focus for ongoing innovation for the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in the Africa and Middle East (AME) region. This is according to Mohamed Othman, Industrial Pump Engines Segment Leader, who has been with Cummins Africa Middle East for seven years, and therefore has an in-depth knowledge of the market on the continent. “It is important to understand we do not supply pump products per se, but the engines that drive these pumps in various industries. In agriculture and irrigation, Cummins supplies variable-speed engines to optimise centre-pivot irrigation lines, while in the firefighting sector pumps are used to protect a range of assets, from commercial buildings to industrial plants and even oil-and-gas facilities.
