This acquisition enhances Vintage Air’s capabilities and expands its reach into BMW, Porsche and other European models, reinforcing its leadership in the automotive aftermarket industry, according to company officials in a press release,

Headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, Vintage Air has been offering high-performance aftermarket climate control since 1976. The addition of A/C Solutions, a California-based company renowned for its innovative plug-and-play A/C kits tailored for European classics, marks a significant milestone in Vintage Air’s growth strategy, noted the press release. This move strengthens Vintage Air’s portfolio, combining A/C Solutions’ niche expertise, loyal customer base and growing European offerings with Vintage Air’s decades of manufacturing expertise.

Vintage Airs says that A/C Solutions brings a unique edge with its focus on upgraded OEM+ A/C components for 1980-90s BMWs and Porsches—a segment previously underserved by the company.

“Partnering with Vintage Air is a game-changer for us,” said Austin Caccavo, founder of ACS GROUP LLC (A/C Solutions). “The ability to leverage its extensive team of engineers and manufacturing resources allows us to continue growing our product line while improving our production quality at the same time.”
