MADRID (Reuters) - Spanish carmaker Seat will resume domestic production after the end of a strike at one of its suppliers, the company said on Thursday.

Production at the Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) subsidiary's Martorell plant in Barcelona was halted on Wednesday by a strike over wages at Johnson Controls Eurosit, which supplies seats for the carmaker's vehicles.

Workers at Johnson Controls Eurosit, the Spanish unit of Wisconsin-based Johnson Controls Inc (JCI.N), voted in favour of a negotiated deal early on Thursday, Seat said.
