The production activity and grape seed oil refining stops while the trade of packaged oil is developed.
The mill is transformed into a hydro-electric power station to product its own energy.

An HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) initiative is led to identify, analyze and master all significant dangers with regard to food safety at each stage of the process.

After the retirement of Olivier Tardieu, his nephew Guillaume Braure, great-grandson of the founder, took over the management of the company, accompanied by Olivier Gardies, Henri Rollin and Raphaël Clichy.
A new page is turning for Huilerie GID, in the continuity of its history, notably with the industrial expansion allowing it to continue its development out of the ground during 2025.
This project will bring it an increase in its production capacities within a CSR logic.
Huilerie GID has doubled its production/storage area for more agility and in order to improve its working conditions.
These investments were co-financed by the European Union and the regional council of Nouvelle-Aquitaine through a grant with the Feader program Aid for investments in the processing and marketing of agricultural products from the Regional Strategic Plan 2023-2027.
