“L’ETABLISSEMENT PIERLY BUSINESS (EPB) is from now on the representative of the VERGNET HYDRO pumps in Central African Republic”, says Pierre-Alfred LEBARAMO, co-owner (with his wife, Lydie Linda LEBARAMO) of the Central African small business created in September 2016 (Bangui, 1st district). Besides this sales representation of VERGNET HYDRO, EPB proposes services of hydraulic engineering and trains stakeholders of the sector of the rural and semi-rural hydraulic structures.
“First of all, we were looking for a qualified and solid partner for ensuring distribution of replacement parts of the VERGNET HYDRO manual pumps. And, EPB has fully responded to our expectations”, confides Thierry RACON, Business Manager of VERGNET HYDRO. Indeed, Pierre-Alfred LEBARAMO, engineer in the fields of water and sanitation, has worked in the water sector in Central Africa for the past couple of decades.
The desire to develop the activities of the small company EPB
“We also have the will to lead together new projects of drinking water supply in Central African rural areas”, continues Thierry BARBOTTE, MD of VERGNET HYDRO. “Market outlooks which meet our desire to develop the activities of our young company, to expand our staff and to rely on local competences”, concludes Pierre-Alfred LEBARAMO.
Today, one Central African villager out of six is provided with drinking water by VERGNET HYDRO pumps.
