Nordic Ware was founded in 1946 in Minnesota, United States, by H. David and Dorothy Dalquist. The company produces bakeware and kitchen tools designed for home baking. Nordic Ware created the original Bundt cake pan, which became widely recognized in baking. Many products are made from cast aluminum that distributes heat evenly during baking. Nordic Ware continues to manufacture a large portion of its bakeware in the United States.
