Who makes this?

Ceiling power track system with pendents and OCP for each. Never saw it before.

We had something very similar (may even be the same, can't tell from the picture) in a plant I worked in. It was a track with a trolley system. Some, but not all the machines used the box at the top for the OCPD. You could use either a trolley or a stationary connector. The trolley had copper bars that made contact with the copper rails inside the track.
If I'm not mistaken, Eastman was the brand and I have no idea if they mfg it or just branded it with their name/Logo.

The only one I'm familiar with is Starline. They have all kinds of variations of taps you can order. Been around for a long time. Probably others but I think this is the most popular one.

I was mistaken with my aging brain! Eastman was the machines we mostly plugged into the rail.
The brand was Feedrail, here is a link to a distributor.

Feedrail is a movable trolley system. Your photo appears to not be a trolley system but rather a ceiling grid busway system that has plug-on tap points for power use.

From what I see Feedrail can be had both ways. And I should say that information on it is not easy to come by. What I found was from a commercial sewing machine and equipment company and they actually stock it.

Yes, it can be used both ways. Also, it was a sewing factory that I worked in that used the system. We used it for the cutting tables as well as the sewing machines. I would say that 99% of the equipment there was fed from the Feedrail.
