In a bustling city, a young girl named Alina discovered her passion for building and creating. Influenced by her father’s construction company, she developed a keen interest in engineering. Alina’s fascination grew as she observed her father’s meticulous blueprint crafting and witnessed structures taking shape on construction sites.

When her family moved to Canada, Alina embraced the challenge of a new environment and excelled in her education. She pursued Mechanical Engineering at the renowned University of Toronto, honing her problem-solving skills and earning accolades.

Alina’s career path led her to optimize manufacturing processes in the automotive industry and design life-changing medical equipment. Eventually, she joined Thordon Bearings, where she met Greg Auger, a fellow visionary. Their shared expertise and collaborative mindset propelled them to establish their own engineering company.

Alina and Greg’s venture became synonymous with excellence, innovation, and positive impact. Their journey was shaped by Alina’s childhood LEGO fascination, her father’s mentorship, and a relentless pursuit of knowledge.

Greg’s engineering journey started with a deep passion for fixing things. He honed his skills by tinkering with various mechanical objects and pursued a degree in Mechanical Engineering. During an internship at Stelco, he discovered his fascination with heavy industrial equipment and its potential for improvement. After graduating, Greg became a Test Engineer at an automotive supplier, specializing in destructive testing and failure analysis.

However, his desire for a new challenge led him to join Thordon Bearings, a leading Canadian manufacturer of self-lubricating bearings for Marine, Hydropower, and Industrial applications. In his roles at Thordon Bearings, Greg gained global exposure to cutting-edge mechanical technologies and traveled extensively.

In 2021, Greg co-founded Millstream Engineering with Alina, aiming to provide bearing and sealing expertise to customers in Ontario and Western Canada. Their experiences and knowledge shape the solutions they offer at Millstream Engineering.
