On 5 October 1941, the factory was moved to the larger premises of the evacuated radio receiver factory Elektrit. The move was arranged by Oscar Glik, an Austrian Jew who managed to obtain "Volksdeutsche" papers and later, in effect, became director of the factory. At the time, the factory had 448 workers. Together with family members (a total of about 800–1,000 people), they lived in two large buildings at the factory site. It was a relatively safe place; the workers were one of the first to receive work permits (known as "yellow Schein") that protected them from "Aktions" – round ups for executions at Ponary. Ghetto inhabitants considered Kailis workers as "privileged" and resented them.
