Jus-Rol is a manufacturer of chilled and frozen pastry and related products, such as vol-au-vents. The company is owned by Rinkelberg Capital.
The company began in 1954 in Coldstream, Scotland, when local baker, Mr Tom Forsythe, started selling "Just Roll" puff pastry to his customers. In 1975 the business was sold to the food giant Fitch Lovell, before being sold off by Booker Group (the new owners of Fitch Lovell) in 1990 to Grand Metropolitan which subsequently sold it to General Mills.
In 2021, Cérélia UK acquired Jus-Rol from General Mills, but following an order by the Competition and Markets Authority, in 2025 sold Jus-Rol’s business in the UK and the Republic of Ireland to Rinkelberg Capital.
