Fun facts about NORTHERN TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL CORP

Quirks, history, and lore behind NTIC — the kind of stuff that makes a stock memorable.

  • 1
    The Basics
    A small-cap U.S. industrials company listed on Nasdaq, headquartered in Minnesota, whose entire business revolves around stopping things from corroding, rusting, and rotting.
  • 2
    The Numbers
    Annual revenues in the low tens of millions of dollars — tiny by Wall Street standards — yet it operates through joint ventures across dozens of countries, giving it a global footprint a much bigger firm would envy.
  • 3
    The History
    Founded in the 1970s, it pioneered chemistry-based corrosion inhibiting packaging at a time when most companies were still just spraying metal parts with oil and hoping for the best.
  • 4
    The Secret
    Its flagship technology — Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) chemistry — releases molecules that form an invisible protective layer on metal surfaces, no contact required. It's basically anti-rust wizardry in a bag.
  • 5
    The Lore
    Its products protect everything from military equipment and automotive parts to electronics shipped halfway around the world — if a metal thing survives a long ocean voyage without turning orange, this company may deserve some credit.
  • 6
    The Giveaway
    This Minnesota micro-cap sells ZERUST®-branded corrosion protection products and bio-based solutions globally, making it the world's leading pure-play in VCI anti-corrosion packaging technology.
