Peter Lake

Senior Technical Development Manager EMEA - Homecare & Industrial Cleaning

Peter has over 16 years’ experience in the industry and holds a BSc in Physics. With expertise in R&D and product development for both branded and own label products, Peter also has a scientific publication to his name. In addition, Peter has provided support work for patents in laundry and personal lubricants.

Peter was recently involved in a project where a customer asked us to match a benchmark window cleaner gel formula, leader in the market. Peter didn't just match the product, in the rheology profile and colour, he further improved it.

The great formulation dilemma is can you get the right performance from the ingredients you are using, or do you need to change the formula base and ingredients radically? Getting the right formulation solution quickly, is the challenge for a formulator.
