German sports apparel and footwear maker Puma has announced that its second quarter net sales have increased 14.1% to EUR674 million, and has confirmed its target to grow sales to more than EUR3 billion in 2011.

It said it still expected profit to rise by a mid single-digit percentage, despite higher raw material and wage costs, with the gross margin to remain at around last year’s level in the second half.
