Founded in 1942, Huilerie GID specializes in the trading, blending, and repackaging of vegetable oils for the food service industry (RHF) and agri-food industries.

Offering

The group’s historical success is based on its agility and ability to provide clients with the best value for money, historic brands in food service (including Cuisinor), and an excellent service rate, notably due to its close relationships with suppliers. With its production site in Libourne, GID is able to offer a complete range to its customers: from cooking and frying oils to seasoning (gourmet oils and condiments).

Testimonial

During the reflection and research phase, we had very good discussions with FrenchFood Capital, both regarding the potential of our target and the strategy to pursue in the coming years. Financially, the FrenchFood Capital team also helped us find a good balance between stakeholders. Our transaction was finalized in December 2022, and since then, we have had regular and constructive exchanges.

We are convinced that the expertise of the FrenchFood Capital teams in agri-food, and especially in out-of-home catering, will help us accelerate our development.
