<html><head><title>Northern Technologies International Corporation Reports Sales and Earnings for Third Quarter Fiscal 2013</title></head><body><p align="right">EXHIBIT 99.1</p><h3 align="center">Northern Technologies International Corporation Reports Sales and Earnings for Third Quarter Fiscal 2013</h3><p>MINNEAPOLIS, July 11, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northern Technologies International Corporation (Nasdaq:NTIC) today reported its financial results for third quarter of fiscal 2013.</p><p>
	NTIC's consolidated net sales decreased 24.7% and 6.8% during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013 compared to the three and nine months ended May 31, 2012, respectively. These decreases were primarily a result of decreases in sales of ZERUST&#174; rust and corrosion inhibiting packaging products and services in Brazil. Zerust Brazil recorded a $2.3 million order during the three months ended May 31, 2012 related to product sales to Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras) and did not have any sales to Petrobras during the three months ended May 31, 2013. As previously disclosed, NTIC believes that Petrobras intends to place a number of smaller orders during the remainder of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2014, rather than one large order as Petrobras did during the three months ended May 31, 2012.</p><p>
	"In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, NTIC continued to enjoy top-line sales growth compared to each of the three consecutive prior quarters, as we expanded our supply to several large new customers in both our ZERUST&#174; industrial as well as our Natur-Tec&#174; businesses. During the quarter, we were able to bring start-up costs under control that we previously incurred with the production ramp up of a broad range of new products and products for new customers and also implemented several other initiatives that we anticipate will improve our margins overall," said G. Patrick Lynch, President and Chief Executive Officer of NTIC. "Overall earnings from our international joint venture operations also improved significantly compared to the first and second quarters of fiscal 2013," continued Mr. Lynch, "despite continued uncertainty in both Europe and Asia."</p><p>
	During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013, 92.2% and 90.9% of NTIC's consolidated net sales, respectively, were derived from sales of ZERUST&#174; products and services, which decreased 25.0% and 8.1% to $5,418,271 and $14,923,966 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013, respectively, compared to $7,220,258 and $16,243,683 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2012, respectively, due primarily to decreases in sales of ZERUST&#174; products and services in Brazil as noted above. NTIC has strategically focused its sales efforts for ZERUST&#174; products and services on customers with sizeable corrosion problems in industry sectors that offer sizable growth opportunities, including the oil and gas sector. NTIC's consolidated net sales for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013 included $567,615 and $1,699,084, respectively, of sales made by Zerust Brazil, and of those sales, $0 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>
	Mr. Lynch added, "We continue to add oil and gas industry companies to our list of customers in several countries, including the United States. These new orders and implementations are primarily for storage tank bottom protection systems, and we expect to see initial revenues recognized for these in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 as well as the first quarter or fiscal 2014. With regard to our Natur-Tec&#174; products, we are currently in the process of improving our supply chain in order to improve our overall margins."</p><p>
	During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013, 7.8% and 9.1%, respectively, of NTIC's consolidated net sales were derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products compared to 7.5% and 7.8% during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2012, respectively.&#160;Net sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products decreased 21.5% during the three months ended May 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended May&#160;31, 2012 due primarily to variable ordering patterns by distributors and sales agents and a distributor change. Because of the typical size of individual orders and overall size of NTIC's net sales derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products, the timing of one or more orders can affect materially NTIC's quarterly sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products and the comparisons to prior year quarters.&#160;Net sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products increased 9.0% during the nine months ended May 31, 2013 compared to the nine months ended May&#160;31, 2012 due primarily to increased sales to NTIC's Natur-Tec&#174; distributors in the United States.&#160;Additionally, NTIC continues to target key regional and national retailers through independent sales agents.&#160;Demand for the Natur-Tec&#174; products depends primarily on market acceptance and the reach of NTIC's distribution network.</p><p>
	Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased to 69.0% and 69.3% during the three and nine months ended May&#160;31, 2013 compared to 53.1% and 61.5% during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2012 primarily as a result of increased sales during the prior year periods of ZERUST&#174; products for the oil and gas industry which carry higher margins than other ZERUST&#174; products and increased production expenses during the current year periods associated with the production and shipping of ZERUST&#174; products to a new customer.&#160;The increase in production expenses is anticipated to be temporary and should normalize during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.</p><p>
	NTIC's income from joint venture operations increased 31.3% and 17.6% during the three and nine months ended May&#160;31, 2013 compared to respective prior fiscal year periods.</p><p>
	NTIC's equity in income of joint ventures decreased 21.0% and 15.3% to $1,440,335 and $3,733,069, respectively, during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013 compared to $1,822,972 and $4,405,327 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2012, respectively.&#160;These decreases were primarily a result of the consolidation of NTI Asian LLC (NTI Asean), which was included in the current fiscal year periods, but not in the prior fiscal year periods.&#160;NTIC Asean is NTIC's majority owned joint venture holding company for NTIC's joint venture investments in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region.</p><p>
	NTIC recognized a 161.2% and 59.2% increase in fees for services provided to joint ventures during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013 compared to the three and nine months ended May 31, 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 to joint ventures are a function of the net sales of NTIC's joint ventures which were $28,541,576 and $82,788,711 during the three and nine months ended May 31, 2013 compared to $28,954,210 and $83,746,872 for the three and nine months ended May&#160;31, 2012, respectively.&#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, as well as certain of NTIC's other non-European joint ventures, and the weakening of the EURO and other currencies compared to the U.S. dollar.&#160;</p><p>
	NTIC's total operating expenses increased 4.5% to $10,966,765 during the nine months ended May&#160;31, 2013 compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2012.&#160;This increase was primarily the result of increases in selling expenses and expenses incurred in support of joint ventures, and overall reflected NTIC's efforts to support its new business efforts.</p><p>
	NTIC expenses all costs related to product research and development as incurred.&#160;NTIC incurred $2,853,250 and $2,856,536 of expense during the nine months ended May 31, 2013 and 2012, 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 $206,046 and $297,258 for the nine months ended May 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.&#160;NTIC anticipates that it will spend between $3,800,000 and $4,000,000 in total during fiscal 2013 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 36.2% to $927,112, or $0.21 per diluted common share, for the three months ended May 31, 2013 compared to $1,454,037, or $0.33 per diluted common share, for the three months ended May 31, 2012.&#160;Net income attributable to NTIC decreased 42.0% to $1,751,144, or $0.39 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended May 31, 2013 compared to $3,018,987, or $0.68 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended May 31, 2012.&#160;These decreases were primarily the result of decreases in gross profit, partially offset by increases in fees for services provided to joint ventures. &#160;NTIC anticipates that its quarterly net income will remain subject to significant volatility primarily due to the sales performance of its joint ventures, sales of its ZERUST&#174; products and services into the oil and gas industry, and sales of Natur-Tec&#174; bioplastics products. Each of these fluctuates more on a quarterly basis than the traditional ZERUST&#174; business in North America.&#160;</p><p>
	NTIC anticipates that its net income attributable to NTIC will be positively affected during fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 as a result of its receipt of $500,000 and anticipated receipt of an additional $250,000 in life insurance proceeds as a result of the death of a former NTIC officer. &#160;</p><p>
	NTIC's working capital was $13,136,534 at May 31, 2013, including $3,176,157 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 continues to expect 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;However, as a result of the receipt of life insurance proceeds during fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, NTIC is increasing its earnings guidance by $600,000, or $0.13 per share, and now expects that its net income attributable to NTIC to range between $3.3 million and $3.6 million, or between $0.75 and $0.81 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 third 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 13017497.</p><p>
