Ecko Ltd.

Paul 'scruffy' Martin looks at the EKCO brand from Eric Kirkham Cole Limited which was a British electronics company producing radio and television sets from 1924. Expanding into plastic production for its own use, Ekco Plastics produced both radio cases and later domestic plastic products; the plastics company became Lin Pac Mouldings Ltd. In 1966, Pye closed the Southend-on-Sea factory as part of its restructuring plan and by the early 1970s the Ekco brand had all but disappeared.
