What company is that?

I would think many of them by now. We built our house in 1997 and the
machine we installed had such a rack (Kitchenaid). I noticed our Son's new
dishwasher had a similar rack when he built his home this fall.

From the posts above, I suspect a lot of folks have a grander idea of what
this rack is than its reality. At one end of our door-mounted silverware
rack is a filp-up rack with slots to accommodate 6 or 8 knife blades. If
you use it, it keeps blades pointed down, not up. And despite some opinions
above, it is very easy to put a knife in a washer rack blade up, when you
are accustomed to putting spoons, forks and dinner knives in that way.
