MILAN, July 23 (Reuters) - Italian car parts maker Sogefi on Tuesday reported a nearly 4 percent rise in first-half net profit, boosted by a stronger second quarter and a positive performance in its non-European markets.
Net profit for the six months to the end of June was 16.2 million euros ($21.4 million), while revenues fell 0.7 percent to 681.7 million euros.
The company said it expected a slight growth in the global car market for the full-year, although production and sales in Europe are expected to remain weak.
