KUALA LUMPUR: Pentamaster Corp Bhd, an automated test equipment maker, says quarterly sales surged to a record in the three months ended June 30.

       However, lower margin due to price adjustment for certain segments and projects as well rising costs capped its profit growth.

       Pentamaster posted a net profit of RM17.9mil compared with RM17mil made a year ago. Revenue jumped 27% to RM130.6mil, the group said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday.
