Sam Visaisouk, CEO of Tyromer Inc., has sadly passed away, leaving behind a remarkable legacy of leadership, innovation, and dedication to sustainability. A visionary in the tire recycling industry, he played a pivotal role in transforming Tyromer from a laboratory concept into a thriving commercial enterprise.

In a statement, Tyromer paid tribute to Visaisouk’s contributions: “Sam started his journey with Tyromer over 15 years ago, and through his efforts and vision, the company has scaled up and progressed to where it is today. Sam had incredible positive energy and truly valued the personal and business relationships that he developed. There is no doubt Sam will be dearly missed, and we cherish the fond memories of our time together.”

As Tyromer prepares for a period of transition in 2025, the company remains committed to his vision. His son, Jon Visaisouk, will step into the role of CEO, ensuring continuity in leadership and growth. Additionally, Tyromer Europe has appointed Frans Ghijsen as its new CEO.

While Sam Visaisouk’s presence is irreplaceable, his impact will continue to guide Tyromer as it expands its global footprint and advances its mission of sustainability. He will be remembered by many not only as a business leader but also as a mentor and dedicated family man who sought to make the world a better place.
