<html><head><title>Northern Technologies International Corporation Reports Increased Sales for Second Quarter Fiscal 2013</title></head><body><p align="right">EXHIBIT 99.1</p><h3 align="center">Northern Technologies International Corporation Reports Increased Sales for Second Quarter Fiscal 2013</h3><p>MINNEAPOLIS, April 11, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northern Technologies International Corporation (Nasdaq:NTIC) today reported its financial results for second quarter of fiscal 2013. Highlights of NTIC's financial and operating results include: &#160;</p><ul>
	<li>
		NTIC's consolidated net sales increased 5.5% and 7.5% during the three and six months ended February&#160;28, 2013, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended February 29, 2012.&#160;These increases were primarily a result of increased demand and sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products and ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting packaging products and services. <br>
		&#160;</li>
	<li>
		Net sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products increased 32.8% and 31.8% during the three and six months ended February&#160;28, 2013 compared to the three and six months ended February&#160;29, 2012.&#160;These increases were due to increased sales to Natur-Tec&#174; distributors in the United States. <br>
		&#160;</li>
	<li>
		Net income attributable to NTIC decreased 28.3%, to $434,410, or $0.10 per diluted common share, for the three months ended February&#160;28, 2013 compared to $606,193, or $0.14 per diluted common share, for the three months ended February&#160;29, 2012.&#160;Net income attributable to NTIC decreased 47.3%, to $824,032, or $0.18 per diluted common share, for the six months ended February&#160;28, 2013 compared to $1,564,950, or $0.35 per diluted common share, for the six months ended February&#160;29, 2012.&#160;These decreases were primarily the result of increases in operating expenses and income tax expense.</li>
</ul><p>
	"In the second quarter of fiscal 2013, NTIC continued to enjoy top-line sales growth, as we expanded our supply to several large new customers in both our ZERUST&#174; Industrial as well as our Natur-Tec&#174; businesses. In direct correlation to this sales growth, however, we continued to incur start-up costs as we fully ramped up production on a broad range of new products.&#160; This, along with higher income tax expenses, adversely impacted our earnings.&#160;We believe, however, that we should start to see the bottom-line benefit of these new business opportunities on next quarter's bottom line," said G. Patrick Lynch, President and Chief Executive Officer of NTIC. "Overall revenues from our international joint venture operations continued to remain stagnant," continued Lynch, "with the Euro zone's economic slowdown and political instability threatening Asia."</p><p>
	During the three and six months ended February&#160;28, 2013, 89.8% and 90.2% of NTIC's consolidated net sales, respectively, were derived from sales of ZERUST&#174; products and services, which increased 3.1% and 5.3% to $4,710,412 and $9,505,695 during the three and six months ended February 28, 2013, respectively, compared to $4,570,779 and $9,023,425 during the three and six months ended February 29, 2012, respectively, due to increased demand from existing customers and the addition of new customers.&#160;NTIC has focused its sales efforts of ZERUST&#174; products and services by strategically targeting customers with specific corrosion issues in new market areas, including the oil and gas industry and other industrial sectors that offer sizable growth opportunities.&#160;NTIC's consolidated net sales for the three and six months ended February 28, 2013 included $579,655 and $1,131,469, respectively, of sales made by Zerust Brazil, and of those sales, $149,257 and $189,642, respectively, in sales were made to the oil and gas industry in Brazil.&#160;Overall demand for ZERUST&#174; products and services depends heavily on the overall health of the markets in which NTIC sells its products, including in particular the automotive market.</p><p>
	During the three and six months ended February&#160;28, 2013, 10.2% and 9.8%, of NTIC's consolidated net sales were derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products compared to 8.1% and 8.0% during the three and six months ended February 29, 2012, respectively.&#160;Net sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products increased 32.8% and 31.8% during the three and six months ended February&#160;28, 2013 compared to the three and six months ended February&#160;29, 2012.&#160;These increases were due to increased sales to Natur-Tec&#174; distributors in the United States.&#160;</p><p>
	Lynch added that, "We continue to add oil and gas industry companies to our list of customers in several countries, including the United States. However, it has come to our attention based on recent discussions with Petrobras that Petrobras intends to place a larger number of smaller orders on a quarterly basis rather than one large order with respect to our phase 3 contract.&#160;As a result, we now anticipate that the revenues from the phase 3 contract will be recognized more evenly on a quarterly basis during the remainder of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2014 as opposed to in one large purchase order prior to the end of fiscal 2013.&#160;This adversely impacts our revenue and earnings guidance for fiscal 2013; and therefore, we have adjusted our revenue and earnings guidance accordingly."</p><p>
	NTIC's equity in income of joint ventures decreased 7.0% and 11.2% to $1,138,438 and $2,292,734, respectively, during the three and six months ended February&#160;28, 2013 compared to $1,224,675 and $2,582,355 during the three and six months ended February&#160;29, 2012, which was primarily a result of the consolidation of NTI Asean.&#160;</p><p>
	NTIC recognized a 36.4% and 31.9% increase in fees for services provided to joint ventures during the three and six months ended February&#160;28, 2013 compared to the three and six months ended February&#160;29, 2012, respectively.&#160;These increases were primarily a result of the consolidation of fees for services earned by NTI Asean which are included in the current fiscal year periods, but not in the prior fiscal year periods.&#160;Fees for services provided are a function of the net sales of NTIC's joint ventures which were $26,722,201 and $54,247,135 during the three and six months ended February&#160;28, 2013 compared to $25,997,430 and $54,792,662 for the three and six months ended February&#160;29, 2012.&#160;Total net sales of NTIC's joint ventures were adversely affected in part by the European economic slowdown, which NTIC believes adversely affected the net sales of NTIC's European joint ventures.&#160;Sales of NTIC's joint ventures are not included in NTIC's product sales and are not combined with NTIC's sales in NTIC's consolidated financial statements or in any description of NTIC's sales.&#160;</p><p>
	NTIC's total operating expenses increased 8.4%, or $561,289, to $7,279,585 during the six months ended February&#160;28, 2013 compared to the six months ended February&#160;29, 2012.&#160;This increase was primarily the result of increases in selling expenses, general and administrative expenses and expenses incurred in support of joint ventures, research and development expenses, and overall reflected NTIC's efforts to support its new business efforts.</p><p>
	Net income attributable to NTIC decreased 28.3%, to $434,410, or $0.10 per diluted common share, for the three months ended February&#160;28, 2013 compared to $606,193, or $0.14 per diluted common share, for the three months ended February&#160;29, 2012.&#160;Net income attributable to NTIC decreased 47.3%, to $824,032, or $0.18 per diluted common share, for the six months ended February&#160;28, 2013 compared to $1,564,950, or $0.35 per diluted common share, for the six months ended February&#160;29, 2012.&#160;These decreases were primarily the result of increases in operating expenses and income taxes.&#160;NTIC anticipates that its quarterly net income will remain subject to significant volatility primarily due to the financial performance of its joint ventures and sales of its ZERUST&#174; products and services into the oil and gas industry and Natur-Tec&#174; bioplastics products, which sales fluctuate more on a quarterly basis than the traditional ZERUST&#174; business.&#160;</p><p>
	NTIC's working capital was $14,589,567 at February&#160;28, 2013, including $4,261,145 in cash and cash equivalents compared to $10,060,081 at August 31, 2012, including $4,137,547 in cash and cash equivalents.&#160;</p><p>
	<strong>Outlook</strong></p><p>
	NTIC previously supplied $3.1 million in ZERUST&#174; products to Petrobras off of a Phase 2 contract, most of which was delivered in one $2.5 million order for product that Petrobras warehoused prior to utilizing the product.&#160;During first quarter of fiscal 2013, Zerust Brazil signed a Phase 3 contract with Petrobras to supply $3.7 million in ZERUST&#174; products. Based on past orders from Petrobras, specifically from the phase 2 contract, NTIC had anticipated that Petrobras would be placing one large order associated with the phase 3 contract during the third or fourth quarters of fiscal 2013 and built this into NTIC's annual financial guidance for fiscal 2013.&#160;However, in discussing the timing and order size of the product associated with this contract, NTIC now believes that Petrobras intends to place a larger number of smaller orders on a quarterly basis rather than one large order.&#160;As a result, NTIC now anticipates that the revenues from the phase 3 contract will be recognized more evenly on a quarterly basis during the remainder of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2014.&#160;This decreases some of the volatility in our expected revenues and earnings, however, it also adversely impacts our anticipated fiscal 2013 revenues and earnings.</p><p>
	As a result of this change in order size, NTIC is updating is previous guidance and now expects that its net sales will range between $24.0 million and $25.0 million, inclusive of sales made by NTIC's majority-owned subsidiary in Brazil, for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2013.&#160;Additionally, NTIC expects that its net income attributable to NTIC to range between $2.7 million and $3.0 million, or between $0.62 and $0.68 per diluted common share, for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2013.</p><p>
	<strong>Conference Call and Webcast</strong></p><p>
	NTIC will host a conference call today at 8:00 a.m. Central Time to review its results of operations for second quarter of fiscal 2013 and its 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 14202009.</p><p>
