<html><head><title>Northern Technologies International Corporation Reports Increased Sales and Earnings for First Quarter Fiscal 2014</title></head><body><p align="right">EXHIBIT 99.1</p><h3 align="center">Northern Technologies International Corporation Reports Increased Sales and Earnings for First Quarter Fiscal 2014</h3><p>MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 9, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northern Technologies International Corporation (Nasdaq:NTIC) today reported its financial results for the three months ended November 30, 2013.</p><p>
	NTIC's consolidated net sales increased 19.2% during the three months ended November 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended November 30, 2012. During the three months ended November 30, 2013, 91.1% of NTIC's consolidated net sales were derived from sales of ZERUST&#174; products and services, which increased 19.9% to $5,749,013 compared to the same prior fiscal year period due to increased demand from existing customers and the addition of new customers. NTIC's consolidated net sales for the three months ended November 30, 2013 included $390,610 of sales made to customers in the oil and gas industry compared to $128,697 for the three months ended November 30, 2012.</p><p>
	"Fiscal 2014 is off to a solid start. ZERUST&#174; sales jumped almost 20% compared to the same period last year while at the same time our margins enjoyed a healthy boost. Overall, joint venture performance improved as well, bolstering both our competitive position and balance sheet," said G. Patrick Lynch, President and Chief Executive Officer of NTIC. "Robust demand for our expanded range of ZERUST&#174; corrosion solutions from the manufacturing sector is expected to continue into the second quarter. Furthermore, Natur-Tec&#174; bio-plastic products enjoyed healthy sales growth in North America and we already see demand increasing through our majority-owned Indian subsidiary that launched operations on December 1, 2013."</p><p>
	During the three months ended November 30, 2013, 8.9% of NTIC's consolidated net sales were derived from sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products compared to 9.4% during the three months ended November 30, 2012. Net sales of Natur-Tec&#174; products increased 12.8% compared to the three months ended November 30, 2012. This increase was due to increased sales to Natur-Tec&#174; distributors in the United States as NTIC has continued to strengthen and expand its U.S. industrial distribution. &#160;</p><p>
	Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased to 65.9% during the three months ended November 30, 2013 compared to 69.8% during the three months ended November 30, 2012 primarily as a result of start-up costs associated with a new customer recognized during the prior year period.&#160;</p><p>
	NTIC's equity in income of joint ventures increased 23.7% to $1,427,748 during the three months ended November 30, 2013 compared $1,154,296 during the three months ended November 30, 2012.&#160;Additionally, fees for services provided to joint ventures increased 14.3% to $2,109,648 during the three months ended November 30, 2013 compared $1,846,277 during the three months ended November 30, 2012.&#160;These increases were primarily a result of a 7.8% increase in total net sales of NTIC's joint ventures to $29,661,218 during the three months ended November 30, 2013 compared to $27,524,934 for the three months ended November 30, 2012.&#160;Total net sales of NTIC's joint ventures appear to be slightly improving from the depressed sales levels experienced as a result of the European economic slowdown over the past couple of years.&#160;</p><p>
	Mr. Lynch added, "Our ZERUST&#174; Oil &amp; Gas team has been exceptionally busy lately with multiple industry specific corrosion solutions. Some of our project managers have had to brave -40&#730;F in Canada to complete an installation one week, only to find themselves in +75&#730;F weather in the Caribbean for the next one. Our team continues to systematically target North American oil terminal operators as well as refineries, and anticipates that the pace will continue into the new calendar year."</p><p>
	NTIC's total operating expenses increased to $4,174,166 during the three months ended November 30, 2013 compared to $3,727,684 for the three months ended November 30, 2012.&#160;This increase was primarily the result of an increase in selling expenses, general and administrative expenses and expenses incurred in support of joint ventures, and overall reflected NTIC's efforts to support its new business efforts.</p><p>
	NTIC incurred $1,138,520 and $938,206 of expense during the three months ended November 30, 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;NTIC anticipates that it will spend between $3,800,000 and $4,000,000 in total during fiscal 2014 on research and development activities related to its new technologies.&#160;</p><p>
	Net income attributable to NTIC increased 120.4% to $858,586, or $0.19 per diluted common share, for the three months ended November 30, 2013 compared to $389,622, or $0.09 per diluted common share, for the three months ended November 30, 2012. This increase was primarily the result of increases in gross profit of NTIC's North American businesses and increases in joint venture operations.&#160;</p><p>
	NTIC's working capital was $13,222,558 at November 30, 2013, including $3,907,371 in cash and cash equivalents compared to $13,270,452 at August 31, 2013, including $4,314,258 in cash and cash equivalents.&#160;As of November 30, 2013, NTIC had a term loan with a principal amount of $914,384 outstanding from PNC Bank, National Association, which NTIC repaid in full on January 3, 2014.</p><p>
	<strong>Outlook</strong></p><p>
	For the fiscal year ending August 31, 2014, NTIC expects its net sales to range between $27.5 million and $29.0 million and expects net income attributable to NTIC of between $4.1 million to $4.7 million, or between $0.95 and $1.05 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 Time to review its results of operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 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 30378510.</p><p>
