Nordic Ware was founded in 1946 in Minneapolis, specializing in specialty Scandinavian cookware products. They've grown with the times, and now feature hundreds of items for all kinds of cooking, the vast majority of which are proudly MADE IN THE USA.
Their most famous pan is the Bundt pan, which was introduced in the early 1950's but didn't take off until 1966, when a Bundt cake took second place at the annual Pillsbury Bake-Off and won its baker $5,000. The resulting publicity resulted in hundreds of thousands of requests for Bundt pans and soon led to the Bundt pan becoming the most-sold baking pan in the United States.
