Nordic Ware is a company based in St. Louis Park, Minnesota that introduced the Bundt cake pan in 1950. It was founded in 1946 by H. David Dalquist.
Their sign is painted on the Peavey–Haglin Experimental Concrete Grain Elevator near the interchange of Minnesota State Highway 100 and Minnesota State Highway 7. The grain elevator was the first reinforced concrete circular grain elevator in the United States, and possibly in the world. Nordic Ware is a pioneer in the field of microwave cookware. They introduced the patented Micro-Go-Round, better known as the automated food rotator. The company also runs a competition every year "Bundts Across America," celebrating the best bundt cake creations.
Nordic Ware is one of the few remaining American cookware companies that produce their products almost entirely in the United States.
