Abstract: We show that the wreath product $Gwrmathbb{Z}^n$ of any finitely generated group $G$ with $mathbb{Z}^n$ has finite palindromic width. We also show that $CwrA$ has finite palindromic width if $C$ has finite commutator width and $A$ is a finitely generated infinite abelian group. Further we prove that if $H$ is a non-abelian group with finite palindromic width and $G$ any finitely generated group, then every element of the subgroup $G^{\prime }wrH$ can be expressed as a product of uniformly boundedly many palindromes. From this we obtain that $PwrH$ has finite palindromic width if $P$ is a perfect group and further that $GwrF$ has finite palindromic width for any finite, non-abelian group $F$.
