Northland Aluminum Products, Inc, doing business as Nordic Ware,[1] is a company based in the Minneapolis, Minnesota, suburb of St. Louis Park, notable for introducing the Bundt cake pan in the early 1950s.

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.
