In a recent article by The Buffalo News, NOCO President and Chief Operating Officer Michael Casciano offered an in-depth look at the company’s continued growth, innovation, and long-term strategy. Marking his first full year in the role, Casciano reflected on NOCO’s evolution into a full-service energy company—expanding well beyond its roots in fuel and convenience stores.
The article, written by business reporter Matt Glynn, outlines several major milestones, including a series of recent acquisitions, the company’s expansion into roofing and window services, and the opening of a new facility on Fire Tower Drive. Under Casciano’s leadership, NOCO has added over 50 new employees, strengthened its environmental division, and maintained a strong focus on operational performance.
Casciano also shared insight into NOCO’s approach to identifying the right business partners for acquisition, prioritizing both subject-matter expertise and cultural alignment. His leadership style emphasizes performance tracking, entrepreneurial thinking, and incentivizing success—such as gain-sharing programs that reward teams for exceeding profit goals.
As the first non-Newman family member to serve as president of the 92-year-old company, Casciano embraces the challenge of leading across 18 diverse business lines, working alongside Chairman and CEO James Newman to drive NOCO’s forward-thinking mission.
