Subsidiaries/Business Units
Cummins Turbo Technologies (formerly Holset)
The
Holset Engineering Co. was a British
company that produced turbochargers, primarily for diesel and heavy duty applications. The
company had its roots in 1948, when W. C. Holmes became interested
in Louis Croset's flexible coupler design.
The company started
when Paul Croset was convinced to start up and manage the venture,
which was based in Huddersfield
, England
.
Holset as we know it came into existence in 1952 as a
limited corporation, with
the name coming from the first half of Holmes and the last half of
Croset.
In 1973 the company was purchased by Cummins after briefly being
owned by the Hanson Trust, and continued to expand for the next
thirty years.
Holset now operates facilities in China
, India
, Brazil
, the
Netherlands
, the United Kingdom
and the United States

Cummins
Turbo Technologies to be identified more closely with its
parent company. The turbocharger products still use the Holset
brand name.
