Wingcopter and Sincronía Logística to deliver medical supplies by drone in Mexico

Sincronía Logística and Wingcopter have entered a partnership to promote the use of drones for the delivery of medical supplies. The Mexican company plans to use a fleet of Wingcopter 198 drones itself and to deploy them on behalf of its customers. Drone-based deliveries will allow to bypass Mexico’s at times challenging terrain and infrastructure limitations, perfectly complementing Sincronía Logística’s current high-value pharmaceutical and medical logistics services.

Following a successful flight demo for the Cruz Roja Mexicana Querétaro (the Mexican Red Cross’ division in the state of Querétaro) in August, regular drone-based delivery operations with the Red Cross are planned to start still within this year. First, medicine and medical equipment for paramedics and first responders will be transported over a distance of 8 kilometers, allowing much faster access to hard-to-reach areas.

Diego Garcia, Director of Business Excellence at Sincronía Logística, commented: “At Sincronía Logística, our vision is to set a new standard for modernization and innovation in healthcare logistics. Through the use of the Wingcopter 198, we are not simply improving delivery times—we are giving patients faster access to the treatments and medicines they urgently need. For us, this project goes beyond technology; it is a philanthropic initiative that embodies our commitment to saving lives and supporting the healthcare professionals who dedicate themselves to caring for others. By accelerating medical logistics, we are helping to close critical gaps in access to care and ensuring that innovation serves its most important purpose: protecting health and improving lives.”

Armando Koerig Gessinger, Chief Revenue Officer at Wingcopter, stated: “We are convinced that Sincronía Logística has the resources and competences to scale the use of our Unmanned Aerial System to a nation-wide dimension within the next years, as they already have experience in deploying various robotics systems for their warehouses and associated processes and are leaders in their segment. Wingcopter is honored by the partnership and the trust Sincronía Logística have placed in us.”
