Northern Technologies International Corporation is in the business of converting unique environmentally beneficial material science into value added products and services for industrial and consumer applications.

Our business model of commercializing clean and green technologies in niche markets depends heavily on the talents, perseverance and integrity of both our employees and our worldwide federation of joint venture partners.

Northern Technologies International Corporation was founded in 1970 in Lino Lakes, Minnesota with its primary business in oil analyzer instruments (then known as Northern Instruments, Inc.). In 1993, Northern Instruments changed its corporate name by merging into a wholly owned subsidiary, Northern Technologies International Corporation. The company has since grown out of the oil analyzer instrument business and into a global provider of corrosion inhibiting products and corrosion control management services with sales and technical support reach in more than 50 countries. NTIC is certified to both ISO 9001: Quality Management and ISO 14001: Environmental Management Standards.

Consistent with our desire to expand our offering of environmentally beneficial clean technologies to the public, we have recently, for example, developed patented biodegradable plastics and renewable resource engineering plastics to further reduce any negative impact on the environment.

We believe that our responsibilities are first to our worldwide customers, then to our people, next to our communities and finally to our shareholders. Therefore, we must:

1. Exercise honor, humanity and disciplined management in our actions.
2. See a unified world through the global perspectives of our people.
3. Ensure that the environment becomes a better place because of what we do.
4. Invest continuously in our future.
