It was founded in 1946 by Henry David Dalquist (25 May 1918 – 2 January 2005),[2] who trademarked the name Bundt in 1950,[2] his wife Dorothy, his brother Mark, and their friend Donald Nygren.[3][4][5] Nordic Ware remains family-owned and operated, and David Dalquist (son of founders Henry David and Dorothy Dalquist) is the current company president.[1]
In addition to the Bundt cake pan, Nordic Ware is also a pioneer in the field of microwave cookware. They introduced products such as the patented Micro-Go-Round, better known as the automated food rotator.[6]
More than 70 million Bundt pans have been sold by Nordic Ware across North America.[7] To mark the 60th anniversary of the pan the company designated 15 November as 'National Bundt Day'.[8] The company also runs a competition every year, 'Bundts Across America', celebrating the best Bundt cake creations[9] as well as holding cooking classes twice a week.
Nordic Ware is one of the few remaining American cookware companies that produce their products almost entirely in the United States[5] and also offers their products in 50 countries. Only a few of their items are ineligible for international shipment.[10]
