Idex ASA, a Norwegian maker of fingerprint-imaging technology whose stock rose almost eightfold since the start of 2013, is projecting customer and revenue gains as phonemakers add biometric sensors to their devices.

The company expects a “significant” pickup in sales next year as volumes increase, Chief Executive Officer Hemant Mardia said in an interview. Idex received its first volume order for 300,000 sensors in January.
