Family-owned bakeware specialists Nordic Ware
celebrate 75 years!
If you love your baking – and your baking TV shows! – then you’ve probably come across the legendary Nordic Ware Bundt tin. But did you know they are still a family-run business in the US and are celebrating their 75th anniversary this year?
Nordic Ware was founded by Dave Dalquist, who returned from WWII to start the company in his Minnesota basement along with his father, brother and wife Dotty. With only $500 in their pockets, a few good ideas and a desire to create a business of their own, a humble kitchenware company was launched.
Since then, Nordic Ware’s manufacturing capabilities, distribution and the brand itself have flourished, with their huge range of iconic baking pans now used the world over! The company began manufacturing traditional Scandinavian ethnic cookware products, like
Rosette iron, Krumkake iron, Platte Panne pan and Ebelskiver pan, to serve the large Scandinavian
population that inhabited the upper Midwest in the US.
“We are committed to remaining family-owned and we are grateful for our customers and hundreds of talented, dedicated employees who’ve made us what we are today. As we celebrate our 75th year in business, we want to pay tribute to Dave and Dotty’s courageous entrepreneurship and to the decades of effort that followed to bring the
company to its present success!”
Jennifer Dalquist, Nordic Ware EVP/Sales & Marketing and 3rd generation family member
