The subsidiary VERGNET WALLIS & FUTUNA was established in Wallis & Futuna in September 2021, after two years of discussions and planning.

Today, the company employs 5 native islanders, in line with the wishes of the Regional Director Mr Tamaso Pooi, who is himself a native of these islands.

Highlight of 2022: the very first electric car made its appearance on these islands thanks to VWF.
