Mark Hovland, President
Mark started his career as a residential kitchen and bath designer for 9 years. He then shifted into commercial casework when he went to work for the Stelte Company in 1987. Soon after he seen a much needed niche for Clinical Dental Cabinetry. Within a year the Stelte Company became Stelte Dental Systems. During Mark's 17 year tenure with Stelte he became instrumental in growing the company into an Industry Leader. Stelte Dental Systems became so large that Adec ended up purchasing them to acquire their designs and methods. That was the end of Stelte and the beginning of DesignLine Dental Systems. Mark created DesignLine with the continuing commitment to build the highest quality Dental Cabinetry in the Industry.
His innovative dental cabinet designs changed the entire perspective of what dental cabinetry could be for the past 30 years. His vision of merging form and function has shaped dental cabinetry into what it is today. His designs and innovations are constantly being incorporated by competitors. As Oscar Wilde said, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness." If you want something mediocre call your dental supplier, if you want something great, call DesignLine Dental Systems.
michael hovland, vice president
Michael began cutting his teeth in construction at an early age working with his family as a painter and taper in the summers and weekends in Northern California until he went to college at the University of Southern California. After a successful career as a commercial Real Estate Broker he realized his real passion, construction. While living in Hawaii he began a residential development company building spec homes on the Big Island, Hawaii. He then moved back to California where he worked as a Project Manger for the largest commercial seating company in Northern California. He worked on projects for the top tech companies in the world (Facebook, Pinterest, Pandora, Google, Apple, etc.). After a few visits to Washington State he realized that this is where he wanted to finally put down roots, raise his family and work for the highest quality cabinet company he has seen, DesignLine Dental systems.
