KUALA LUMPUR: CENTURY LOGISTICS HOLDINGS BHD [] (Century) net profit for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 rose 15.7% to RM8.68 million from RM7.50 million a year earlier, mainly due to increased business activities from new contract logistics customers.

It said on Tuesday, Aug 16 that its revenue for the quarter dipped to RM74.25 million from RM75.31 million in 2010 due to lower export shipments in the procurement logistics activities.
