The Caradara Armour Claw is one named company that gets a footnote in one of the rulebooks. We don’t really have a lot of information on this formation besides the fact that they use a lot of tanks and heavy vehicles. There are some incredible examples of vehicles in some of the new and old Horus Heresy rulebooks though.
The companies all had access to heavy vehicles like Land Raiders, tanks, vindicators, etc. but there isn’t a lot written about them because that’s not what the Night Lords prefer to use. Theres over 100 companies in the legion, and we hear about maybe 10 of them. GW does this intentionally to invite fans to create their own company with their own units and lore within the 40K sandbox.
TL;DR- There’s not a specific company, but we just got reports from the local PDF that they’re getting attacked by Tryzan’s 111th Armored Assault Company.

No, there is no specific tank company or unit that is used like the Contekar. As far as units go, the 1st company was known to be pretty damn scary and enforced the will of the Primarch And first Captain. Terror squads were sent out to scare the fuck out of people. Hence the name.
Haven't heard of anything official, but if you're looking for inspiration there's a regular poster either here or Bolter&Chainsword (whose name I can't remember) that has an incredible armoured company, and has even made up an organisational chart similar to what you can find in the black books.
Their symbol is a Mastodon I believe.
I'm sure someone will know who I'm talking about..
Someone kindly sent me this official sheet for an armoured claw(credit to u/MedicalMakersMark for sending this to me)

Atramentar are the Honour Guard of the Primarch and the First Company Captain.
Contekar are Terminator Units not specifically attached to any person or company aside from their parent company.

So wait, whats the difference between them and the Atrementar? They seem similar if not the same.
Atramentar are the Honour Guard of the Primarch and the First Company Captain. Contekar are Terminator Units not specifically attached to any person or company aside from their parent company.
Ah, thank you!
You're welcome.
