Tiger Aircraft owners have laid off all but two employees at the factory in Martinsburg, West Virginia, and have terminated the contract of the former plant manager, Gene Criss, following a brief effort to sell the company to a Florida man, Samuel W. Miller. The owners of the company had been divided on the sale, with some wanting to liquidate Tiger and others wanting to sell it to Miller. After Criss signed a contract, the owners had the agreement nullified by the Circuit Court of Berkeley County, West Virginia. The two employees will fill parts orders while the managing partner of the owner group, TFX Management, a subsidiary of Teleflex, decides what to do with the company. Tiger's ownership is broken down as follows: 30 percent to TFX Management, 30 percent to Yao-Hwa Glass Company (actually a Taiwan government agency), 19 percent to Universal Investment (another Taiwanese government agency), and 21 percent to Seagull Decor owned by a private businessman. Calls to thre e Tele flex attorneys and legal assistants, one Teleflex public relations person, and the plant this week were not returned.
