Karnaphuli Shoe Industries Ltd - Customer Case Study

Karnaphuli Shoe Industries Ltd, Bangladesh’s largest shoe manufacturing complex in the Korean Export Processing Zone in Chittagong, needed a dependable prime power solution to keep production running despite frequent power shortages and the risk of costly downtime. The company turned to Cummins for reliable generator systems, including diesel generator sets with integrated switchgear.

Cummins supplied 4.5MW of prime power through three C2000D5 diesel generator sets powered by QSK60G3 engines, integrated with PowerCommand controls and switchgear. The solution improved power stability, reduced downtime, and supported steady production of 14,000 pairs of shoes per day, helping Karnaphuli Shoe Industries lower disruption-related losses and maintain confidence among investors and customers.
