Atlanta—AirSept President Aaron Becker has been re-elected by the MACS (Mobile Air Climate Systems Association) executive committee to serve as chairman for another term at the association’s 2026 Annual Conference.

MACS, founded in 1981, is the trade association that assists service technicians with EPA 609 certification and delivery of technical training for service professionals.

Becker is president of AirSept, a manufacturer of automotive solutions for complex repair problems for MVAC systems, including Smart Splice line connectors, Recycle Guard, and most recently, Refrigerant Port Adaptors for retrofitting to new, low-GWP refrigerants now available on the market.

He has spent over 30 years in the mobile HVAC industry and has been a MACS member for 26 years. Additionally, he serves on multiple SAE committees and has had extensive experience collaborating with OE engineers, manufacturers, and distributors.

Last year, MACS expanded its in-person and virtual MVAC systems training programs to ensure that technicians were current with new refrigerants and vehicle technologies.

Becker said, “Significant global changes are underway with the phase-down of legacy refrigerants. It is critical that technicians understand how to safely and effectively service systems using next-generation refrigerants. MACS continues to lead by updating training materials and expanding education around EV climate systems and advanced thermal management.”

He added, “As we look ahead, the board is focused on strengthening collaboration with automotive manufacturers, thermal system component suppliers, and the aftermarket. This increased engagement ensures MACS delivers the most current, relevant information to technicians and service shops, further enhancing the value of our training and membership.”

The MACS board of directors guides the MACS association on education, awards, virtual and in-person training, meetings, and all aspects of membership solicitation and benefits.
