TORONTO, ON September 7, 2017

NII Northern International Inc. – Effective Immediately, Sterno Home™ is the new name for the industry leader Northern International Inc. (NII). Today, Northern International is widely known for DIY outdoor lighting and flameless candle décor. The name change to Sterno Home combines a great product assortment with a strong, iconic brand presence renowned for superior quality and unwavering reliability. At the core of Sterno home will reside a passion for innovation, design, value, and service. Mike Pacharis, General Manager, Sterno Home, said, “As a division of Sterno Products, it is exciting for NII to become more closely aligned and identified with the iconic Sterno brand.

Customers will immediately see “Sterno Home” on all digital products and communications, with other media assets being phased in over the near future.


Sterno Products, President and CEO, Don Hinshaw added, “We acquired NII in 2016 because they were North America’s premier flameless candle and outdoor lighting company and a great strategic fit for Sterno Products. The name change to Sterno Home is a natural evolution and further leverages the iconic Sterno brand across the world class portfolio of consumer products.”
