Ralph Kuss’ entrepreneurial spirit led the company to begin producing intank fuel filters as early as 1953. He directed the company into a wide range of products. At the time of Ralph Kuss’ death in 1979, the company produced filters, water mattresses, vinyl airport hangar doors, and vinyl swimming pool liners. In 1986 the Kuss family sold the business to Fleetguard, a division of the Cummins Engine Company and in 1990 Fleetguard divested all of the products not related to filters. In 2007, as part of Cummins’ global branding strategy, Kuss was merged into Cummins Filtration, and became part of its Light Duty division. In 1996 Kuss began manufacturing in France and by the end of 2007, Kuss had established its global presence with additional manufacturing locations in Brazil and China.

In 2005, as part of Cummins’ global branding strategy, Nelson was merged into Cummins Filtration, and became part of its Light Duty division.
