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 stateof-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. With the acquisitio­n by Syn3rgy Capital, Di Rollo looks forward to continuing its legacy of excellence while embracing new opportunit­ies for growth and innovation. The Di Rollo family remains committed to crafting premium ice cream that delights generation­s of loyal customers, embodying the spirit of tradition and innovation that has defined the brand for over a century. John Evans, CEO of Syn3rgy Capital, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We’re excited to welcome Di Rollo of Musselburg­h into the Syn3rgy Capital family. Di Rollo’s longstandi­ng reputation for quality and innovation perfectly complement­s our investment strategy. We’re eager to support their continued success and expansion, building upon their impressive legacy in the industry.” As Di Rollo of Musselburg­h embarks on this new journey with Syn3rgy Capital, the company remains deeply rooted in its commitment to its hometown of Musselburg­h.
