Encyclopedia : H : HO : HOL : Holset

Holset is a British company that produces turbochargers, primarily for diesel and heavy duty applications. They company has its routes in 1948, when W. C. Holmes became interested in Louis Croset's flexible coupler design. The company was started when Paul Croset was convinced to start up and manage the venture, which was based in Huddersfield. 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 purchased by Cummins, and continued to expand for the next thirty years. They now operate in China, India, Brazil, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. Recently, in 2006, the company has officially changed its name to Cummins Turbo Technologies to be identified as closer to their parent company.
