Workers at Collins Aerospace have voted to end a pay dispute at the Co Down aircraft seat manufacturer.
The union Unite said its members at the Kilkeel factory had backed an improved pay offer worth 10% over 28 months.
Unite members took to the picket line last Friday over pay conditions.
Five further days of strikes were planned by Unite commencing at midnight on Thursday, running until October 7.
Unite confirmed an improved offer was made by management in negotiations on Wednesday.
