The article gives a brief historical overview of extrusion equipment，the characteristic of extruding products and the use of them in military and industries， and also introduces the current situation of domestic extrusion equipment. Although the extrusion equipment has been built up rapidly in our country nowadays，the presses that we have are numerically superior and the world′s largest extrusion press is built interiorly; our country is still not the great powerful nation in extrusion. It still falls behind compared with the developed countries on the aspects of the advanced technology of extrusion，extrusion process， the theory of mold design， automatic control system， and innovation in the structure and modern precision machining of the extrusion dies， product quality， also the amount and specifications as well as type of extrusion press. The authors， at the same time， point out that，as the developments in science and technology，human productive activity extends unceasingly， much higher quality of extrusion products is required， so larger even extralarge type， intelligence，reliability， maximization of the extruding products and the superhigh pressure oil pump direct control will be the main trend of extrusion press in the future.
