The business was founded 1972 by Leif Aage Hagen in Norway as a mail order business selling adult magazines, toys and films. From 1976 the company published Rapport 76 (later called Aktuell Rapport). The business was founded as a public company, Scandinavian Publishing Group A/S in Denmark in 1985 [1] and went on to produce magazines covering sex and erotica, cars, rock music, softcore entertainment, home furnishing and design. In the late 1980s Leif Aage Hagen sold of the company but remained as chairman of the board. By the late 1990s the focus was concentrated on pure erotica and pornography content alone.
