ZURICH, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 22th july, 2016) - Swiss chocolate maker Lindt & Spruengli said Friday it had managed to lift sales and profit in the first half of this year despite the torpid consumer market and rising cocoa prices.

Net profit jumped 11.1 percent to 72.2 million francs.
