With profound sadness, we announce the sudden passing of Kosin Virapornsawan, Managing Director of PlanToys, on September 12, 2024 at 42 years young. Kosin was a dedicated leader and a vital part of our team, shaping our mission of sustainability and innovation but above all, a very good friend with whom we’ve shared so many great moments.

He wasn’t a man of many words, but he always wanted to be and do the best he could for everyone.
