Editorial
Who would have thought 33 years ago that the « Day of raw materials » launched by the SFP would one day become the most important exhibition in the world for raw materials for perfumery?
What was at the origin just an opportunity for members of the SFP to meet a few suppliers of raw materials, has become over the years the essential meeting place for producers or manufacturers from all countries with perfumers, buyers, marketing or regulatory managers, around the world.
From 3 exhibitors during the first session at the Paris Chamber of Commerce, this event became the « Exhibition of Raw Materials for Perfumery » in 2008, then the « International Exhibition of Raw Materials for Perfumery » - SIMPPAR - in 2013 for its 11th edition, now welcomes about 120 exhibitors and more than 2000 visits per day at each edition.
International participation, both from exhibitors and visitors, is regularly increasing and now counts for more than half of the attendees.
Even if there are more and more demands to exhibit, we want to maintain the friendly and relaxed spirit of this show at human size, made up of meetings and discoveries rather than negociation and speed dating.
You will find in the following pages all the information concerning the next edition which will take place on June 4 and 5, 2025 at Espace Champerret – Paris.
Looking forward to welcoming you as many and enthusiastic as always,
Sincerely yours
