Nairobi – October 12, 2026 -- Vallar Advanced Systems, a U.S. manufacturer of water-based road-building chemicals, has presented its alternative to asphalt to the Government of Kenya, targeting the country's unpaved secondary and rural road network.
Vallar presents soil-stabilization plan to Kenyan officials during AmCham visit
The company's team attended an American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) Kenya event in Nairobi. It also met senior government and civil society leaders and officials at the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi.
Vallar says it will continue talks with Kenyan government stakeholders and partners in the coming months. The source discloses no contract value, pilot project, or timeline for a deal.
Technology converts native soil into all-weather road surfaces
Vallar's technology works on the native soil itself, turning earth roads into durable, all-weather surfaces. The company says this avoids the cost, heavy equipment and environmental burden of conventional asphalt. Its products are non-toxic and water-based.
The pitch addresses a maintenance problem on unpaved roads. Many become impassable in the rainy season and generate harmful dust in the dry season. Keeping them usable requires constant regrading, which Vallar describes as costly. These roads connect farms to markets, children to schools and patients to clinics.
U.S.-made origin anchors the commercial pitch
Vallar says its technology is 100% developed and manufactured in the United States. The company frames its Kenya push as an expression of the commercial partnership between the two countries.
CEO Jeremy Flynn said Kenya's secondary roads carry its economic future, from agriculture to trade to access to basic services. He said unpaved roads are a challenge across the entire continent and that Kenya can lead in solving it.
