 PROFILE
Selling pleasure is easy for Beate Uhse. Europe's largest porn retailer, the company operates more than 50 Beate Uhse sex shops in Germany and nearly 95 in Austria, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland. For those who like to skimp on the skimpy, the company runs about 45 Erotic Discount Centers in the Netherlands and Belgium. Other operations include wholesale and manufacturing businesses, an erotica mail-order business (Europe's largest), and, of course, an Internet porn network with more than 140 domain names. The company also runs the Museum of Erotica in Berlin. It is planning an adult pay-TV venture in Europe and expansion in the US. Late founder and former chairwoman Beate Rotermund's family controls the company.
