One thing that distinguishes machining enthusiasts from other people is that “they can see inside the product.”

In this special on-site episode of the B2B Podcast filmed in the Czech Republic, Paul Jones of MTDCNC sits down with Pavel Diviš of TGS at their 5-Axis Fair to talk about 30 years of growing a machining business through a post-socialist transition, technological shifts, and the changing landscape of European industry.

From building skateboards as a kid to becoming a full-solution provider for high-end manufacturing projects, Pavel shares what it takes to adapt, innovate, and lead with vision. This isn’t just another podcast – it’s a story of cultural grit, supply chain evolution, the fading role of automotive in the Czech economy — and why people, not machines, are the key to true technological transformation.

Tune in to learn more about TGS’s 5-Axis Fair, where over 400 experts gathered not just to see machines — but to build a collaborative future.
