Answers.Text: Yes, it is possible to buy extra components directly from them, but it is quite expensive, that is why I was looking for an alternative. Additionally, they do not have many components like differentials, pulleys or worm gears.
  I think the best approach is to buy cheap lego clones from aliexpress and then make adaptors to fit with the rest of components.
  
  Thank you very much for your help searching for the manufacturer, anyways
  I have been checking more in detail and it seems that the scale is exactly 1.2 lego size

Comments.Text: Seconding the request, without either a brand name or a photo, it is going to be probably impossible to identify any stores that sell it. Are there any markings on the pieces, numbers or text, maybe just a logo? Even if not, a photo could help jog someone's memory.

ThreadText: # Different brand, slightly bigger than Lego
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-12-18)
  
  I have a set of Technic bricks used by an academy for teaching robotics to children.
  
  They are not compatible with Lego (I think that the pitch is 9mm instead of the 8.6mm of the original Lego design).
  
  I would like to buy additional components, so I wonder if there is any known brand or shop that sell these type of bricks (including Chinese manufacturers or AliExpress stores, for example).
  
  Edit: added image. At some components I can read HND##, but searching for HND I only find Haneda airport in Japan ![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/87Jzs.jpg)
