Would anyone have information on "macmoter" earthmoving machinery, an acronym for earth-moving machinery, a small but important Italian manufacturer?

The company founded in 1969, the MACMOTER, with its factory in Modigliana (FC) not far from Bologna, was taken over in 1978 by Mr. A.J. Häringer
and from his company Haba Finanz.

Thanks to the brilliant intuitions of the new management, the company had a remarkable growth that led to the birth of another factory in Silandro, in the province of Bolzano. In the 80s, always looking for a growing improvement, the production cycles of the two plants were equipped with ultramodern assembly lines, welding robots and plasma cutting equipment, which ensure a high capacity and production quality.
this article wants to be a tribute to a great Italian brand that unfortunately leaves us
sin!…

Regarding the track loaders, I believe there was once made an LE8 & later an LE9, both of these had engines at the front of the vehicle. Later the LE9 was replaced by the rear engine LC100 I think
Sadly a huge snowfall destroying the factory roof was the final straw for the company. Is there anyone offering parts or rebuilding of the track shovels (as there are men rebuilding old Kamo Machines) ?
I understand the track systems were made by Berco, & that there are spares for both rubber & steel track.
My worry would be sourcing drive motors or variable pumps if these parts failed, I think they would have been a bought in component.
I have never operated a Macmoter loader but heard good things of their build quality, this company was the last maker of a small conventional track loader, apart from the very small & not well made Dongfeng Chinese machines
