ZURICH (Reuters) - Swiss chocolate maker Lindt & Spruengli on Tuesday confirmed it expects organic sales growth of 5-7% in 2019 after an improving situation in the United States led to solid profit and sales growth in the first half of 2019. Chocolate makers have been facing sluggish demand in saturated western markets, but Lindt's focus on faster-growing premium products, its own branded store network and a push into new markets has allowed it to buck that trend.Net profit rose 2.4% to 88.1..
