That company was the Tabulating Machine Company. It was created by Herman Hollerith after his invention helped the U.S. Census Bureau in 1890 to tabulate the census results in one year versus the 8 years it took in 1880.
Together with the International Time Recording company and Computing Scale Corporation, the Tabulating Machine company merged to form the Computing Tabulating Recording Corporation (CTR for short). It held this name until 1924 when the acting president, Thomas Watson Sr., changed the name to IBM (International Business Machines).
