Our story

What began in 1991 as a small workshop giving empty printer cartridges a second life has grown into a Belgian benchmark in circular IT management. Brainscape remains true to that same principle: all technology deserves a second life.

As a family business, we are committed to transparency, quality and social responsibility. We invest not only in sustainable technology, but also in people — through employment, training and collaboration within a safe and inclusive working environment.
