Narrative:
During taxi at jax under the direction of 3 company ramp agents, I detected no contact with any ground equipment nor was I advised of any contact. Takeoff, climb, cruise, approach, and landing into mco proceeded normally. Upon arrival at the gate, I was advised by maintenance that the aircraft wingtip had contacted a ground equipment at jax. I then looked at the left wingtip and observed paint scratches on the wingtip. No structural damage occurred.
