BOSTON, Sept. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- PRAIM Group (www.PraimGroup.com), a food licensing, marketing and distribution company today announced an agreement to create and distribute a line of all-natural premium chocolate bars for Pan Am, one of America's most iconic brands.  Easily identified by its blue globe logo, Pan Am, America's first international airline, continues to represent luxury and glamour and remains chic—nearly 85 years later--even among younger generations.

Featuring two different designs, the 3.5 ounce all-natural and kosher Pan Am bars, are available in both dark and milk chocolate with a $3.99 MSRP.

"The Pan American World Airways brand is thriving and remains one of the most recognizable logos in the world," says Paul Pruett, CEO of PRAIM Group. "PRAIM Group is honored to work with such an important American brand and we're confident these delicious chocolate bars will be a favorite among discerning chocolate lovers, nostalgic gift givers and Pan Am fans."

"We are thrilled to partner with PRAIM Group on this endeavor," said Stacy Beck, director of Brand Development, Pan American World Airways. "They clearly respect the brand and we have worked together to create designs that will resonate with anyone who loves history, aviation, airlines, nostalgia and great chocolate."

Pan Am currently distributes a popular collection of luggage, handbags, carry-on bags, apparel and travel accessories. These items can be found in retailers and airport gift shops throughout the United States.

Known for its efficient and stream line approach to helping food brands maneuver and conquer the tricky world of logistics, marketing and sales,  The Pan Am brand joins a list of other distinguished PRAIM Group companies including, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts (www.WarholFoundation.org), Seapoint Farms (www.SeapointFarms.com), Bloomsberry USA^® (www.Bloomsberryusa.com), Bosco® (www.BoscoWorld.com), KnockKnock® (www.KnockKnock.com), Anne Taintor® (www.AnneTaintor.com),  Bubble Chocolate^® (www.BubbleChocolate.com), and others. In fact, PRAIM Group's newly released Choxcard^TM, was named one-of-five "Top Innovations" at the 2012 Sweets and Snack Expo.

Founded in 1927, Pan Am was the principal and largest international air carrier in the United States through 1991. The airline is credited with many innovations that shaped the international airline industry and its logo, the use of the word "Clipper" in aircraft names and call signs, and the white pilot uniform caps, became a 20^th century cultural icon representing the jet set.

As a pop culture phenomenon, in 1964 a Pan Am plane formed the backdrop when The Beatles' arrived at John F. Kennedy Airport. In addition, from 1964 to 1968 con artist Frank Abagnale, Jr. masqueraded as a Pan Am pilot, dead-heading to many destinations in the cockpit jump seat and forged Pan Am payroll checks. He documented this era in the memoir Catch Me if You Can, which later became a movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
