Sam Visaisouk, the man who took Tyromer from the laboratory to a commercial process has sadly passed away
Sam Visaisouk, the CEO of Tyromer Inc., was a compassionate leader, visionary, friend, dedicated family member, and above all else, simply one of the good guys. He wanted to make the world a better place and left a lasting impact and impression on those who knew him. He certainly achieved those goals. He will be missed by all who knew him.
In a release from Tyromer, the company stated; “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.
“2025 will undoubtedly be a year of transition for Tyromer. Thankfully, Sam has given the company a solid foundation to build on as we enter the next phase of business. He wanted us to continue to expand the Tyromer footprint and make the largest positive impact possible.”
While there is no fully replacing Sam, his own son Jon Visaisouk will take over duties as CEO. At the same time, Tyromer Europe has also welcomed Frans Ghijsen as their new CEO. As the Tyromer family grieves for Sam, we all look forward to carrying on his legacy and contributing to a greener future for all of us. He will be missed by all who knew him, not just as a businessman, but as a character and friend.
