ZURICH, July 28 (Reuters) - Swiss manufacturing group Saurer AG swung to a first-half net profit of 39.9 million Swiss francs ($29.62 million) from a loss of 9.6 million a year ago, it said on Monday, forecasting higher full-year results.
"All in all Saurer anticipates a constant level of sales for the second half-year and, due to the unfavourable product mix in the Textile and Transmissions Systems divisions, a slightly lower operating profit margin overall," it said.
"Compared with the prior year, this will lead to a slight increase in sales and a further improvement in profit."
