The company was selected thanks to the durability and quality of its products, and its after-sales service

VERGNET HYDRO has recently dispatched 17 manual pumps, 19 electrical pumping systems and storage and distribution equipment to its partner SEEBA SARL (Bamako, Mali) for a project that will supply drinking water to more than 30,000 people in the Koulikoro and Sikasso regions. “The quality and durability of VERGNET HYDRO’s products, together with the after-sales service the company offers, are definitely the deciding factors for a contract like this one,” said SEEBA’s Manager Modibo TAMBOURA.

SEEBA, a Malian SME, is delighted to have been awarded a contract by UNICEF to drill 19 new boreholes (16 to be equipped with manual pumps and three to be equipped with basic water supply systems), to convert 16 existing manual pumps into basic water supply systems, and to renovate one manual pump. These sites will supply drinking water to people in 29 rural communities, including 40 schools. All the sites will be up and running by July 2020.

VERGNET HYDRO and its partners bring each other business

“We have a contract with SEEBA under which they distribute our manual pumps and spare parts in Mali, and they frequently carry out the civil engineering for our rural hydraulics projects in the country too. Here, SEEBA is using VERGNET HYDRO equipment for a project that it is running itself. VERGNET HYDRO and its partners bring each other business. That is what makes our network so powerful”, insisted VERGNET HYDRO’s Area Sales Manager Najib BENAZOUZ.
