“Businesses like Cox and Company are the lifeblood of our local economy in Nassau County,” said County Executive Ed Mangano. “With local employers contributing to the economic base and connectivity of our local communities, we must help raise awareness of the role they play and promote a business-friendly Nassau that attracts suppliers and distributors in similar industries.”
In an effort to support the business community, County Executive Edward P. Mangano will profile a different company on the County website each month. The companies featured will represent a cross-section of industry and geographic location throughout the County. Many have products and services that reach beyond our region.

Steve Landry, President of Cox & Company, Inc. stated, “We relocated to Nassau County at the beginning of 2008 from New York City which had become too expensive. As the business has expanded, we have been very fortunate in finding dedicated and highly qualified employees.”
