Yes I know (directly) of 5 companies using Mahout for recommenders, and only 1 allows it to be mentioned -- Mippin. There are of course more that aren't known to me.
In several cases, the people who built the system don't work directly for the company. They're fine with mentioning it, but it's not really their place or worth their time to push on the ultimate company for clearance. There are a number of interesting names on the @mahout.apache.org mailing lists...
