Di Rollo of Musselburgh announces acquisition by Syn3rgy Capital

Edinburgh, Scotland - March 5, 2024 - Di Rollo of Musselburgh, the esteemed 125-year-old ice cream maker, proudly announces its acquisition by Syn3rgy Capital, marking an exciting new chapter in its storied history.

Established in 1899 by Domenico Di Rollo, who ventured from the picturesque Italian village of Cassino, Di Rollo's journey began in the quaint coastal town of Musselburgh. What started as a humble ice cream and confectionery shop quickly blossomed into a thriving enterprise, with Domenico expanding to a second location within just a few years.

In the early 1950s, Domenico's son, also named Domenico, spearheaded the establishment of the manufacturing and wholesale arm of the business, propelling Di Rollo to new heights. By 1977, the family had erected new premises to accommodate their growing operations, with a third generation of Di Rollos at the helm. Reno and Kevin, the sons of young Domenico, infused the business with fresh innovation, introducing an array of tantalizing ice cream and sorbet flavours that captivated audiences in Musselburgh, East Lothian, and beyond.

As demand soared, Di Rollo embarked on a journey of expansion, culminating in the construction of a state-of-the-art facility in 1994, capable of churning out over 600 litres of ice cream per hour while adhering to the highest EU standards for food production.
