It is with immense sadness and the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of Tyromer Inc. CEO Sam Visaisouk. Sam 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. 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. May his dream live on forever. Rest in Peace. ❤️

Tyromer's chemical-free process devulcanizes scrap tires & creates material reusable in new tires at high percentages.
About us
When rubber is formed into a tire, it is vulcanized. This is a process where the rubber is mixed with sulfur and exposed to heat. The result is a hard, durable rubber product – the tires we know today. Vulcanized rubber is difficult to reuse because it cannot be easily reformulated or remixed – but that’s exactly where Tyromer devulcanization gets to work. Simple is Better. Tyromer’s patented devulcanization process is straightforward – Crumb rubber is fed into the extruder, and devulcanized rubber is extruded out. No chemicals added, no additives at all. The resulting product is called TDP or Tire-Derived Polymer which is used in new rubber product manufacturing. TDP can typically be used in higher levels than other recycled rubbers.

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve joined Tyromer Europe as CEO. It’s an honor to lead an organization that plays a pivotal role in advancing sustainability and circularity in the rubber industry. At our Arnhem operating site, Tyromer Europe transforms end-of-life rubber products—like tires and shoes—into circular high-quality materials that can be used to create new products. Building on the innovative technology developed by Tyromer Inc., we also offer licenses for companies looking to install their own production lines. I’m looking forward to working with our talented team and collaborating with partners to drive sustainable innovation in the rubber and polymer industries. If you’re interested in sustainability, circular economy solutions, or licensing opportunities, let’s connect—I’d love to hear from you! Here’s to new beginnings and a more sustainable future! 🌍 #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #Innovation #RubberIndustry #Tyromer

Tyromer Inc. team has been lucky enough to visit our new facility in Chennai. Our own Aashish Jalan, Ankita S., and Jon Visaisouk have been travelling with the local team. Great meetings with government in Delhi and Tamil Nadu, and we look to help further organize the #tire #recycling area! #devulcanization #rubber #circulareconomy #sustainability

This is what progress in #tire #recycling looks like! Tyromer's new facility in Chennai, India is producing #devulcanized #rubber from local end-of-life tires, for re-use in new tire applications. It is a real example of a truly #CircularEconomy and something we hope to continue building upon. #sustainability

Tyromer was lucky enough to participate in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) CEA 4.0 Kickoff program in London, UK last week. In addition to meeting with multiple Amazon teams and corporate partners, we also met some other amazing startups! Interestingly, Amazon has two delivery segments which are targets for Tyromer - the middle mile delivery (18-wheelers, trucks) and the last mile delivery (delivery vans and smaller vehicles). Our joint goal is to start pilot programs involving #tires that are manufactured with more #recycled #rubber. A special thanks to Hassane Elias Kassouf, Shaima Sharif, Payal Patel, and the AWS/Amazon Operations Teams! #AWSEnergy #sustainability #AWSCleanEnergyAccelerator

Tyromer would like to thank Rubber News for hosting the #Hose & #Conveyor Manufacturer's Conference in Chicago last week and for giving us a chance to present on devulcanized #rubber. It was great to connect with various players in the industry and we hope to continue seeing more #recycled materials being used across the board!
