You can’t just walk into a company and instantly know how to do the job. That’s why apprenticeships and training programs are so important. In this clip, Ben from Cromar discusses the value of providing young engineers with hands-on experience, sharing talent across companies, and truly practising what we preach. Mechanical, Electrical, and Fabrication apprentices all play a role in shaping the future of engineering; collaboration is key.

Cromar builds swarf conveyors, coolant filtration, mist extraction — anything that surrounds a machine tool.

A family business spanning generations with a focus on mastery, their systems are scalable, traceable, and backed by responsive engineering and service teams.

Join Tom Skubala of MTDCNC as he chats with Ben from Cromar to see how they manage orders for conveyors from start to finish, why a skilled workforce is still beneficial in today’s era of automation, and what they’re doing to prepare the next generation of machinists.

Join the MTDCNC team as we recap our unforgettable week at EMO 2025. One of the world’s biggest manufacturing and engineering trade shows! From 25,000 daily steps on the show floor to late-night industry parties, we cover it all!

In this episode, we discuss:

➢The latest breakthroughs in automation, 3D printing, and CNC control systems
➢Insights on global manufacturing trends and visitor attendance
➢Wild behind-the-scenes stories (including one unexpected sausage incident 😅)
➢A look ahead at humanoid robots and the future of AI-driven machine shops

Whether you’re a machinist, engineer, or tech enthusiast, this EMO Washdown is your backstage pass to innovation, hard work, and a few laughs along the way!

From long days on the show floor to late-night laughs, the MTDCNC team had plenty to do at EMO Hannover. Catch Arthur Field, Paul Jones, Joe Reynolds, and Lyndsey Vickers of MTDCNC Monday at 1pm to find out all about it!

Whether it’s fabrication, turning, or ultra-compact precision work, ETG is helping shops manufacture smarter, faster, and more flexibly.

Advancements across Durma, Quaser, Nakamura-Tome, and Mitsubishi machines are all about slashing cycle times while keeping skilled operators in control. From AI-enhanced Durma lasers and V-model Nakamura upgrades to the flexible Quaser Flex and precision Mitsubishi EDMs, productivity and efficiency are moving fast.

Join Paul Jones of MTDCNC and Steve Brown of ETG in a special podcast to see how these new developments are transforming the UK manufacturing landscape.

In this month's episode of MTDCNC UNCUT, we’re on location at MJ Engineering in Leicestershire! Join Lyndsey, Paul, and Joe as they catch up after a busy summer, sharing stories and highlights from the past few months.

We dive into what’s coming up at EMO and look ahead to a packed events calendar across the UK in October and November. As always, expect plenty of laughs, industry insights, and some unexpected moments – including a special guest appearance from David at MJ Engineering.

Customers are noticing, partners are lining up, and the future looks massive. Mitsubishi Materials is back—and they’re making waves!

MTDCNC’s Rowan Easter-Robinson sits down with Tim Rose, Melanie Drayton, and Jason Purcell of Mitsubishi Materials to talk two years into a three-year transformation journey.

From smarter solutions and carbide recycling to game-changing 24-hour delivery, Mitsubishi Materials is proving that expertise, speed, and innovation can change the manufacturing game. Tune in to learn more about their business transformation and what customers can expect from Mitsubishi Materials today.

This podcast is brought to you by MTDCNC – your go-to platform for the latest stories in manufacturing innovation.

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.
