HUILERIE GID

What HUILERIE GID does

Huilerie GID is a family-owned French SARL, founded in 1942 at the Moulin de Lapouyade in Saint-Médard de Guizières (Gironde), and now in its fourth generation under director Guillaume Braure following the 2022/2023 retirement of Olivier Tardieu. The company's core activity is the trading, blending, and packaging of vegetable oils — sunflower, oleic sunflower, colza, peanut, soybean, grape seed, and olive — into five proprietary composition brands for frying (CUISINOR, GIDOLEIC, GIDCHEF), for seasoning/cooking/roasting (GIDOLIVE, GID COLZA & OLIVE), and a broad gastronomic specialty line. Annual throughput is approximately 30 million liters across packaging formats from 20ml portion cups to 985-liter containers, produced by a 14-person team.

The underlying technology stack is industrial rather than digital: oil blending and packaging operations anchored on dedicated blenders, vats, and multi-format filling equipment (expanded across multiple plant cycles through 2016-2019 and again in 2024-2025), powered since 1981 by an in-house run-of-the-river hydroelectric station on the Isle river that supplies renewable energy to the facility. The portfolio is differentiated by controlled formulations (proprietary blend ratios for frying performance and Omega 3/6/9 balance), ECOCERT organic certification, HACCP food safety compliance, France Agri Mer approval (3301 N/O 2011), and PGI-sourced Modena balsamic vinegars.

Commercially, Huilerie GID runs a direct B2B sales-led model with no disclosed public pricing. Customers are grouped into four vertical segments: out-of-home foodservice distributors (RHF), food processing manufacturers (biscuit and canning factories), cosmetics manufacturers, and international exporters. Distribution is regional-to-global via direct sales and export intermediaries; reach is supported by a multilingual (French/English) website and contact-based quoting. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; registered share capital is €1,000,000 and the company is privately held with no parent company, external institutional investors, or venture/private-equity backing. The 2024-2025 doubling of production and storage area is co-financed by the EU and Nouvelle-Aquitaine regional council under the Feader program.
