Yesterday, Haleos filed papers with Federal Bankruptcy court in Roanoke.
Management at the fiber optic company had been trying to secure funding for its future.
The Blacksburg-based business had two rounds of layoffs and furloughed all employees except management in February.
Officials blame a downturn in the telecommunications industry.
Montgomery County stepped in to re-possess the company's building last month when Haleos couldn't make lease payments.
That process is now on hold because of bankruptcy proceedings.
Haleos officials could not be reached for comment.
