Story About Us
Polynetics was founded in 1963 by Charles A. Pernice when he moved his family from New York to California. Having served his country in the USAF and Air National Guard as a flight engineer on a B29 bomber and pilot in training, Charles drew from his Air Force experience that gave him some insight into the aircraft parts marketplace. Later, as a sales representative in the balancing field, he saw the need for a company offering balancing services to the aerospace and related industries. As with many small businesses he staked out a niche and offered a unique combination of precision dynamic balancing and machining services to a thriving So. California industry.
Renamed Duonetics after combining with its PWC racing enterprises, Jetinetics and Pro Jet Sports, the company continues to expand under the direction of President and founder’s son, Robert Pernice by offering new services and continually improving our capabilities.

Duonetics was formed in 1963, when Founder Charles Pernice made the move from New York to Southern California. As a sales representative in the balancing field, he saw the need for a company offering balancing services to the aerospace and related industries. Today, the company continues to develop new services and opportunities with acting President and Founder’s son, Robert Pernice.
With the acquistion of two large 5-axis machines, how does Pernice see the future for his company? “Well, we have continued to improve and increase our 5 axis capabilities. With our combination of balancing and machining we are a one stop shop for all fluid moving parts, we love parts with blades.” he says. “And now that we have added our DMU 85 to our existing DMU 60, I predict our company will grow rapidly from here on in.
