Mark McNeill The Stream‑Flo Group of Companies

Entrepreneurial thinker. Purposeful builder. Mark McNeill’s ability to see potential everywhere has transformed The Stream‑Flo Group of Companies into a leader in energy solutions.

Mark kick-started his journey as a teenaged machinist at his family’s energy business. Now, as the President & CEO of Stream‑Flo, he has advanced and expanded manufacturing wellhead technology (used to manage oil or gas flow at well surfaces) into alternative energy spaces in North America. He’s also pioneered the idea of providing wellhead and choke valve technology to support energy production in developing nations.

Combining his lifelong knowledge and passion for entrepreneurial thinking, Mark has sparked massive international expansion by daring to ask: what if we worked differently, and partnered with customers in developing countries to define a more reliable, efficient and safer approach to energy together?

The result? Mark’s pioneering efforts have made Stream‑Flo a global force in 34 countries. With 40 patents and counting, they’re reimagining solutions for the energy industry. All while investing in scholarships, academic institutions and communities where Stream‑Flo’s 1,000+ employees live and work.
