CDS Announces Partnership with LongueVue Capital and Lake Ten Capital Partners to Support Strategic Growth

WHARTON, N.J., Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Customized Distribution Services (CDS) today announced a partnership between its management team, LongueVue Capital (LVC), and Lake Ten Capital Partners (LTCP) to recapitalize CDS and support strategic growth initiatives.

CDS is a 3pl warehouse and distribution provider with sites in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Missouri, and California. It manages 2 million sq ft of food-grade multi-site and dedicated warehouse space and offers tailored warehousing, inventory, distribution, fulfillment, and value-added services.

LVC is a New Orleans-based private equity firm that partners with middle-market companies with experience across the transportation and logistics sector. LTCP, a West Palm Beach, Florida, private investment firm, partners with businesses to support long-term growth. Both firms bring investment and operational experience, along with shared values. LVC and LTCP value CDS's 30-year legacy—its people, culture, and customer relationships—and aim to expand its geographic reach and services into new markets.

President & CEO Adalberto Guerra, COO Joe Leccesse, CFO Elise Adams, and VP of Human Resources Ben Mera collaborated with LVC leaders Ray Jeandron, Scott McWilliams, Brennon Brignac, Hutton Johnston, and Paul Psak. They outlined CDS's next chapter—centered on growth, investment, and staying true to core values.

CDS's senior leadership will remain in place, and the company will continue to focus on its customers, employees, and long-term relationships.

"Our team of long-tenured executives, managers, and employees is thrilled to be partnering with LVC and LTCP. In addition to their industry experience and strategic resources, LVC's partnership-first mentality and LTCP's established relationship with the Company made them the ideal partners for our next phase of growth," said Adalberto Guerra, President & CEO of CDS.

"It has been clear since our first meeting with them that the management team at CDS has a keen focus on operating high-quality facilities, offering value-added services, and putting customers first. In addition, their strategic footprint and deep relationships within core end markets made CDS the optimal choice as our newest platform in the VAWD space," said Scott McWilliams, LVC's Transportation & Logistics Operating Partner.

"The tenure and breadth of CDS's management team and customer relationships, as well as the demonstrable ability to execute at both a regional and national level within unique industries, are testaments to the Company's leadership and culture. LVC is pleased to welcome CDS to the LVC family as our eighth T&L platform investment to date," added Ray Jeandron, Managing Partner at LongueVue Capital. 

"LTCP is very happy to be making its inaugural platform investment in CDS alongside LVC," said Paul Psak, Managing Partner at Lake Ten Capital Partners. "The dedication and quality of the leadership team at CDS is second to none. We look forward to collectively providing strategic and financial resources to support the expansion of their geographic footprint and service offerings to an even broader set of high-caliber customers and growing end markets."
