U.S. clean-chemical company meets with Government of Kenya, civil society leaders and the U.S. Embassy during AmCham Kenya visit in Nairobi

NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vallar Advanced Systems, Inc. ("Vallar"), an American company that makes environmentally clean chemical technology for road building, has finished a visit to Nairobi. The team attended the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) Kenya event and met with senior leaders from government and civil society.

During the visit, Vallar presented its alternative to asphalt to the Government of Kenya. The company also put forward a plan for one of the most persistent infrastructure problems across Africa: unpaved secondary and rural roads. These roads link farms to markets, children to schools, and patients to clinics. Without a stable surface, many become impassable in the rainy season and throw up harmful dust in the dry season. Keeping them in shape takes constant regrading, which costs a great deal.

Vallar's technology works on the native soil itself. It turns earth roads into durable, all-weather surfaces without the cost, heavy equipment or environmental burden of conventional asphalt. Vallar's products are non-toxic and water-based, so they offer governments a cleaner way to extend road networks where they are needed most.

"Kenya's secondary roads carry its economic future, from agriculture to trade to access to basic services," said Jeremy Flynn, Chief Executive Officer of Vallar Advanced Systems. "We were proud to present to the Government of Kenya a solution that is affordable, environmentally responsible and built to last. Unpaved roads are a challenge across the entire continent, and we believe Kenya can lead the way in solving it."

The Vallar team also met with the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi. Vallar's technology is 100% developed and manufactured in the United States. The company sees its work in Kenya as a direct expression of the commercial partnership between the two countries: American innovation serving the people of Kenya.

"As an American company, it meant a great deal to engage with the U.S. Embassy and the AmCham community," Flynn added. "We came to Nairobi to build long-term partnerships, and we look forward to continuing these conversations with our Kenyan counterparts."

Vallar plans to continue its talks with Kenyan government stakeholders and partners in the coming months.
