Company Mann+Hummel produced air, oil, cabin and hydraulic filters not only for automotive industry. The construction of the two halls “E” and “F” and the extension of the outdoor escape staircase of the hall are related to the change in use of part of the building from the warehouse space to the production and assembly spaces. In one of their existing hall there has been built one storey for offices, hygienic facilities and changing rooms. The spaces are connected through the open courtyard balcony to the hall and connect to the existing staircase. The courtyard balcony is protected by a net to prevent contact people with the crane track. Current offices were reconstructed to the dayroom of employees. The steel staircase was led to the roof and was used as an enter to the technical room with ventilation units. At the 1^st floor level under the built-in floor there is room for maintenance of machines, offices, electrical workshops and warehouse. A partition wall from the system panels has been removed between the two halls. In the northern facade, holes was created for new escape doors, lockers ‘windows and offices. There is a new entrance for trucks and forklifts. The outside appearance  concerns the northern facade, where window strips were installed.
