Water supply is essential to the future of rural communities. For more than 30 years, we have been committed to developing efficient, long-lasting solutions with our local partners. In 1975, Marc Vergnet, an early pioneer in sustainable development, invented a hand pump which soon became the market benchmark due to its user-friendliness and long-lasting, robust design. Currently, 80 000 of these pumps are supplying water to 40 million people worldwide. Through 25 subsidiaries and partners, Vergnet Hydro has an international presence operating throughout Asia, Latin America, Africa, the Pacific and the Caribbean.
