History

Founded in 1971, the prestigious Minéral Expo Paris has seen a number of venues over the decades. Until 2021, this legendary event was orchestrated by the Pelloux family, continuing the tradition from father to son.

Since 2021, Mathilde Zvereff and Cédric Sonney, with their company SZ-Minéraux, took over the reins of this iconic show, continuing to make it a privileged meeting place.

Thanks to their innovative vision, the show has been modernized, incorporating captivating lectures, enriching thematic exhibitions and various other improvements. Today, Minéral Expo Paris is not only a must-see exhibition and sale, but also a major cultural event for all mineralogical enthusiasts.
