UNIONDALE, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2025 / Marquis Who's Who has honored Nicholas J. Vangi for his expertise and dedication to the food production industry. Mr. Vangi has over four decades of professional experience in the field.

Stepping Into His Father's Shoes

Currently, Mr. Vangi is president of La Gustosa Foods & World Products Inc., a thriving family business that his father founded. After beginning his career as an accountant, he returned home to step into his father's role. Since 1983, he has overseen a wide range of responsibilities within La Gustosa Foods & World Products Inc. and has been actively involved in every aspect of the company. He is responsible for ensuring that everything from bookkeeping to production runs smoothly.

While La Gustosa Foods & World Products Inc. initially operated as a small retail shop, the company shifted to wholesaling to local businesses such as specialty markets and restaurants. As time has passed, changing consumer behaviors prompted the company to strategically expand its reach to include high-end chefs to secure continued growth and success.

With this change, Mr. Vangi's role includes responsibilities such as designing new recipes, overseeing their market introduction, reviewing all promotional materials and making sure products reach supermarkets and other retail markets. Additionally, he works with the company's CPAs, balancing his knowledge of accounting with a strategic approach that avoids micromanagement. Mr. Vangi's hands-on approach to leadership and pursuit of new markets also includes supplying catering event halls and collaborating with high-end chefs to bring high-quality meals to health, culinary and quality-minded consumers with the company's top ingredients.

Prior to his role at La Gustosa Foods & World Products Inc., Mr. Vangi worked at American Savings Bank as the head of accounting systems and control from 1980 to 1983. In this position, he was responsible for implementing and maintaining efficient accounting systems. Prior to this role, he started his career at Weisman Taylor & Buildner in 1979 as an entry-level accountant, gaining foundational professional experience in accounting practices that have been an asset to his success.

Highlights of Success

With his widely recognized food production expertise, one of Mr. Vangi's most notable accomplishments includes developing unique recipes through extensive research and trial and error before eventually bringing the culinary dishes into larger markets. He attributes his success to his unwavering dedication to his work, staying proactive by continually searching out new products and staying ahead of the curve. Furthermore, Mr. Vangi holds his father in the highest regard for his astute business decisions, greatly valuing the legacy and wisdom he has passed down to him and its contributions to his success.

Mr. Vangi's academic background has also been instrumental to his success. In 1980, he received a Bachelor of Science in accounting with a minor in economics from St. John's University, which provided him with the skills needed to manage complex business operations effectively.

Mr. Vangi's dedication to the food production industry's standards and community engagement can be seen beyond his work as president of La Gustosa Foods & World Products Inc. He is a member of the Franklin Square Chamber of Commerce and is involved in various civic activities. He is a donor to the local fire department and schools and supports the local Boy Scouts of America. His commitment to quality and community service has not gone unnoticed, as he has been a constant winner of the Bethpage Best of Long Island Award.
