Press Releases / MTI Joins IAPF

Hudson, MA — Motion Technology, Inc. (MTI), the manufacturer of the iconic AutoFry® ventless kitchen solution, is proud to announce its official membership with the International Association of Pickleball Facilities (IAPF). This partnership marks a strategic alignment between MTI and the rapidly expanding world of pickleball, where facilities are seeking new ways to drive revenue, increase guest satisfaction, and streamline foodservice operations.

With pickleball surging in popularity across the U.S. and internationally, facility operators are increasingly looking for innovative solutions to meet the needs of players and fans. MTI’s AutoFry—a fully enclosed, automated deep-frying system that requires no hoods or vents—offers an ideal foodservice solution for pickleball facilities of all sizes. Whether it's a local rec center, a private club, or a state-of-the-art pickleball complex, AutoFry allows operations to easily expand their food offerings without costly renovations or staffing complications.

“Our mission at MTI has always been to make foodservice accessible and profitable for every type of business,” said Mike McMahon, National Accounts Manager at Motion Technology, Inc. “Joining the IAPF is a natural fit. Pickleball facilities represent a vibrant and growing market, and we’re excited to help these operations elevate their hospitality offerings with AutoFry.”

As part of this exciting new chapter, MTI will participate in its first IAPF event—the IAPF Boston Regional Meetup—taking place June 19–20 in Natick, MA. MTI will be giving attendees a firsthand look at how easy it is to add high-margin, crowd-pleasing menu items like fries, wings, and mozzarella sticks—without a traditional kitchen setup.

With MTI’s ventless technology and commitment to reliable, operator-friendly equipment, AutoFry is poised to become a go-to solution for pickleball facilities looking to grow food and beverage revenue with minimal overhead.
