Shares of Samsonite International were higher Tuesday as the company expects an improvement in the second half of the year. The company announced a 1% increase in sales in the six months of the year to almost $1.21 billion.

Samsonite’s CEO told Bloomberg that he wants to double Tumi’s sales to $1 billion within three years.
