At the end of 1969, Picañol increased the level of recruitment. At that time, 2,137 laborers and 418 servants were employed at Ieper, causing an acute lack of space. Therefore, the surrounding area of the factory in Ieper turned into an enormous building site. In the spring of 1970, construction started on the new assembly hall, which had to be ready before the vacation. For the first time, a ring road was also built. The number of showers and water connections for washing were also increased and the "rolling stock" was renewed. For example, in March, new commercial vehicles were put into use. The cars, with closed bodies, answered to the name Hannomag (Hannover), with a loading capacity of 1,700 kg. Drivers Lucien Wyckaert and André Mechelen used both cars to organize shipments over domestic and international routes.
