As it warned it might, EECO Inc, Santa Ana, California has bowed to irresistible pressures and filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the US Federal Bankruptcy Code on behalf of its keyboard, switch and keypad divisions only: it has petitioned the court to permit the continued operation of the businesses by EECO Inc as a debtor in possession; the EECO Computer Inc and EECO Ltd subsidiaries are not included in the Chapter 11 filing, the former because it operates as a financially independent business which does not require court protection, the latter, based in Scotland, because it is a separate company, governed by British law, and is able to continue its manufacture of computer keyboards and electromechanical switches as a financially independent business; EECO Computer Inc is a supplier of computer systems for managing hotel facilities.
