Beate Uhse IPO

1999-05-18 09:00:00+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

According to CNN, German sex firm Beate Uhse AG launched a share flotation on Wednesday.

Europe's largest purveyor of erotica, formed in 1946 by one of Germany's first female pilots, said it will raise up to 60.3 million euros ($64.11 million) to fund purchases and dominate the world market.

Update 2001-07-20 (see entry on Beate Uhse's death on that date): Above link is dead, here's a TheStreet.com article about the Beate Uhse AG IPO.
