Donor Spotlight

Duncan & Verda McNeill
Born in Edmonton in 1931, Duncan joined National Supply as a salesperson upon graduation and transferred to Calgary in 1956, as a sales engineer.  In 1958, he joined Robinson Oilfield Specialties Ltd. The company manufactured the first swing check valve used in the oil industry in 1962, as a result of Duncan's foresight in recognizing the need for Canadian-made products suited to Canadian conditions. The first manufacturing plant was built in 1962, and with Duncan's ingenuity and vision, the newly named Stream-Flo Industries Ltd. expanded its range of equipment to supply the rapidly growing pipeline industry.  In 1982, Mr. McNeill saw an opportunity to expand into a related business and purchased the assets of Master Flo Valve Inc., a manufacturer of ball valves and drilling and production chokes. Since its inception, the company has grown from 4 employees to over 400, operating in 15 locations around the world.

Duncan & Verda McNeill are pleased to provide the Duncan & Verda McNeill Scholarships valued at $500 and $1,000 respectively.  These scholarships help recognize some of NAIT’s outstanding students studying in the areas of CNC Machinist, Materials Engineering Technology, and Mechanical Engineering Technology.
