Teurlings can date its history back to 1923, when brothers Antoon and Walter Teurlings set up a grain mill. Three years later, they expanded operations with an oil meal (cattle fodder) factory. It was located in the harbour of Waalwijk.

Several years after its creation, two other brothers, Piet and Bernard, took over operations of a second facility, in Den Bosch. They visited customers personally, hence their wide range of contacts in Noord-Brabant and Limburg.

In 1935, they built an oil factory to accompany the cattle fodder factory. This later became part of the flour facility, a line with which the family business continued until 1959, when larger flour producing companies were able to flood the market, substantially reducing prices.

In the aftermath of World War II, small-scale production of bird seed and pigeon feed was re-started. In 1960, a new cattle fodder facility was built, and the old flour factory was converted into a pigeon feed factory. Pigeon feed and bird seed had, by now, become the most important lines. They were being sold across an ever-widening area and Teurlings products crossed the country in the company's own distribution lorries. Teurlings' reputation spread to Germany and, later, to Belgium as well. Teurlings products are now sold in over forty countries all over the world.
