We introduce a new construction of matrix wreath products of algebras that is similar to the construction of wreath products of groups introduced by L. Kaloujnine and M. Krasner [17]. We then illustrate its usefulness by proving embedding theorems into finitely generated algebras and constructing nil algebras with prescribed Gelfand-Kirillov dimension.

Keywords: growth function, associative algebra, wreath product.
