PALMYRA, Pa., Aug. 2, 2021 /CNW/ -- Cummins Inc. and DAS Companies, Inc. have entered into a licensing agreement to sell Cummins branded DAS products in retail marketplaces throughout the United States and Canada.  The companies are combining the Cummins promise of innovation and dependability and DAS' extensive portfolio of more than 12,000 products serving the on-the-go lifestyle to reach a broad retail audience.  The companies expect to begin selling the Cummins-branded products in the first quarter of 2022.

This long-term agreement will cover many DAS products, including apparel, power equipment (inverters and jump starts), communications gear, safety apparel, tools, and travel accessories.

According to Michael Abel, President and CEO of DAS, this will provide both companies, who have a shared focus when it comes to quality and brand building, the opportunity to leverage the wide assortment of licenses to reach broader audiences together.

"This is an outstanding opportunity for DAS," stated Abel, "especially with a trusted global brand such as Cummins. This agreement will enable even more on-the-go consumers to try our travel products and mobile electronics – products that add safety, convenience, comfort, and leisure to life on the road."                                                                                                                                             

This agreement covers both exclusive and non-exclusive categories. The DAS products in the exclusive category gives DAS exclusive rights to display the Cummins name on Cummins branded products.
