<html><head><title>Northern Technologies International Corporation Reports Increased Sales for Second Quarter Fiscal 2012</title></head><body><p align="right">EXHIBIT 99.1</p><h3 align="center">Northern Technologies International Corporation Reports Increased Sales for Second Quarter Fiscal 2012</h3><p>MINNEAPOLIS, April 11, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northern Technologies International Corporation (Nasdaq:NTIC) today reported its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Highlights of NTIC's financial and operating results include:</p><ul>
	<li>
		NTIC's consolidated net sales increased 4.1% and 10.5% to $4,974,328 and $9,806,442 for the three and six months ended February 29, 2012, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended February 28, 2011, primarily a result of increased demand and sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products. &#160;<br>
		&#160;</li>
	<li>
		Net sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products increased 84.3% to $783,017 during the six months ended February 29, 2012 compared to $424,818 during the six months ended February 28, 2011. &#160;&#160;&#160;<br>
		&#160;</li>
	<li>
		NTIC's consolidated net sales for the six months ended February 29, 2012 included $1,216,532 of sales made by NTIC's majority-owned subsidiary in Brazil, and of those sales, $150,861 were made to the oil and gas industry sector in Brazil, compared to sales of $1,551,623 made by NTIC's majority-owned subsidiary in Brazil during the same period in fiscal 2011, including sales of $627,022 to the oil and gas industry sector.&#160;<br>
		&#160;</li>
	<li>
		During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the value of NTIC's Phase 2 supply contract with Petrobras was increased by $657,000 (BRL$ 1.15 million) in ZERUST&#174; products, bringing the total Phase 2 contract value to $3.1 million (BRL$ 5.36 million).&#160; NTIC's majority-owned subsidiary in Brazil delivered the entire remaining balance of this Phase 2 contract to Petrobras after the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2012.&#160;Accordingly, NTIC's financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 will reflect this approximately $2.5 million (BRL$ 4.38 million) in sales to Petrobras.&#160;&#160;<br>
		&#160;</li>
	<li>
		Sales by NTIC's joint ventures increased 2.6% to $54,792,662 for the six months ended February 29, 2012 compared to $53,405,322 for the six months ended February 28, 2011.<br>
		&#160;</li>
	<li>
		Net income attributable to NTIC decreased 15.4% to $1,564,950, or $0.35 per diluted common share, for the six months ended February 29, 2012 compared to $1,848,820, or $0.42 per diluted common share, for the six months ended February 28, 2011.&#160;Net income attributable to NTIC decreased 36.3% to $606,193, or $0.14 per diluted common share, for the three months ended February 29, 2012 compared to $949,039, or $0.22 per diluted common share, for the three months ended February 28, 2011.&#160;</li>
</ul><p>
	"The March 2012 delivery of over $3 million in ZERUST&#174; products to Petrobras represented the single largest delivery to a customer in NTIC's history, and promises to give a nice boost to our third quarter of fiscal 2012 results when we report such results later in July. In the meantime, we were pleased with the healthy sales growth in North and South America during second quarter of fiscal 2012.&#160;&#160;Strong sales growth in other regions, however, is proving to be elusive for us as the ongoing sovereign debt crises in various European countries have adversely affected sales in not only countries in Europe, but also key supplier counties like China and India. We are being exceptionally cautious as we watch for firm signs of recovery in Europe and worldwide," said G. Patrick Lynch, President and Chief Executive Officer of NTIC.</p><p>
	During the three and six months ended February 29, 2012, sales of ZERUST<sup>&#174;</sup> products and services decreased 0.1% and increased 6.8% to $4,570,779 and $9,023,425 during the three and six months ended February 29, 2012, respectively, compared to $4,576,313 and $8,451,741 during the three and six months ended February 28, 2011, respectively, due to changes in demand from existing customers and the addition of new customers.&#160;</p><p>
	During the three and six months ended February 29, 2012, 8.1% and 8.0%, of NTIC's consolidated net sales were derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products compared to 4.2% and 4.8% during the three and six months ended February 28, 2011, respectively.&#160;Net sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products increased 100.0% and 84.3% during the three and six months ended February 29, 2012 compared to the three and six months ended February 28, 2011.&#160;These increases were due to increased sales to Natur-Tec&#174; distributors on the West Coast of the United States.&#160;NTIC has continued to strengthen and expand its West Coast distribution network in California, as well as expand its industrial distribution reach to geographical "green" hotspots such as Oregon, Washington, Minnesota and New England.&#160;</p><p>
	"We continue to see tremendous opportunities for finished bioplastic products and continue to strengthen and expand our North American distribution network for finished Natur-Tec bioplastic products. At the same time, we learned at the beginning of March 2012 that the Italian government was delaying the broader enforcement of its ban on non-biodegradable plastic supermarket bags until the end of 2012. This will cause a marked decrease in the Natur-Tec&#174; sales expectations we had for this region in the second half of our fiscal year 2012," said G. Patrick Lynch, President and Chief Executive Officer of NTIC.</p><p>
	NTIC's equity in income of joint ventures increased 8.4% and decreased 8.6% to $1,224,675 and $2,582,355, respectively, during the three and six months ended February 29, 2012 compared to $1,129,659 and $2,824,790 during the three and six months ended February 28, 2011, which was primarily a result of changes in the profitability of NTIC's largest joint venture, EXCOR in Germany during the most recent periods.&#160;NTIC recognized a 7.4% and 3.9% decrease in fees for services provided to joint ventures during the three and six months ended February 29, 2012 compared to the three and six months ended February 28, 2011, respectively.&#160;These decreases were primarily a result of the weakening of the EURO and other currencies compared to the U.S. dollar, and correlated with a 1.2% decrease and 2.6% increase in total net sales of NTIC's joint ventures to $25,997,430 and $54,792,662 during the three and six months ended February 29, 2012, respectively, compared the three and six months ended February 28, 2011.&#160;</p><p>
	NTIC's total operating expenses increased slightly, or 0.7%, to $6,718,296 during the six months ended February 29, 2012 compared to the six months ended February 28, 2011.</p><p>
	NTIC incurred $1,789,082 and $2,100,626 of expense during the six months ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively, in connection with its research and development activities.&#160; These represent net amounts after being reduced by reimbursements related to certain research and development contracts.&#160;Such reimbursements totaled $228,576 and $212,992 for the six months ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively.&#160;NTIC anticipates that it will spend between $4,000,000 and $4,200,000 in total during fiscal 2012 on research and development activities related to its new technologies.&#160;This estimate is a net range after being reduced by anticipated reimbursements related to certain research and development contracts.</p><p>
	Net income attributable to NTIC decreased 36.3%, to $606,193, or $0.14 per diluted common share, for the three months ended February 29, 2012 compared to $949,039, or $0.22 per diluted common share, for the three months ended February 28, 2011.&#160;Net income attributable to NTIC decreased 15.4%, to $1,564,950, or $0.35 per diluted common share, for the six months ended February 29, 2012 compared to $1,848,820, or $0.42 per diluted common share, for the six months ended February 28, 2011.&#160;This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in income from NTIC's joint ventures.</p><p>
	NTIC's working capital was $11,871,035 at February 29, 2012, including $3,335,798 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $9,085,748 at August 31, 2011, including $3,266,362 in cash and cash equivalents.&#160;</p><p>
	<strong>Outlook</strong></p><p>
	For the fiscal year ending August 31, 2012, NTIC expects its net sales to range between $23.0 million and $24.5 million, inclusive of sales made by NTIC's majority-owned subsidiary in Brazil, and expects net income attributable to NTIC to range between $4.7 million and $5.0 million, or between $1.08 and $1.14 per diluted common share.</p><p>
	<strong>Conference Call and Webcast</strong></p><p>
	NTIC will host a conference call today at 8:00 a.m. Central Daylight Savings Time to review its results of operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and future outlook, followed by a question and answer session.&#160;The conference call will be available to interested parties through a live audio webcast available through NTIC's website at www.ntic.com or http://ir.ntic.com/events.cfm where the webcast will be archived and accessible for at least 12 months.&#160;The dial-in number for the conference call is (877) 670-9779 and the confirmation code is 60624785.</p><p>
