The History of Onan® - now owned by Cummins
D. W. (David) Onan knew he was on to something back in 1920 when he started
Onan. Electricity, and the equipment to generate it, was the leading technology of
that time. Besides being able to envision the future of electrical power, he also
had an intense commitment to build a company that would thrive during good and bad times.
His dream was to provide well designed and manufactured products for those who
needed high quality electric generating equipment.
Through his inspiration, Onan has been a leader with many product developments
and industry firsts. Here are a few historical notes that are especially
significant:
 | In the 1920s Onan first designed and built small electric generating sets. |
| Onan designed and built their first gasoline engine in 1930. |
| Onan's distributor network was developed in 1947. Today, this network ranks
among the most highly qualified in the industrial marketplace. |
| Onan was one of the first U.S. companies to design and build a small diesel
engine. |
| In 1972 Onan opened international offices in Amsterdam, Caracas and Hong Kong. |
| Onan purchased Newage International Ltd. in 1984. |
| Cummins Engine Company, Inc. purchased majority ownership of Onan in 1986
and assumed total ownership in 1992. |
As a member of the Cummins family, Onan brings together the Cummins engine
technology, Newage alternator technology, and its own control and switchgear manufacturing
expertise. The result is an integrated product line and worldwide support network
that is unmatched by any other power systems manufacturer. Since
