Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin, one of the companies tangled in litigation over defective Chinese-made drywall, said it has reached a settlement with builder Beazer Homes USA, an indication that Knauf is moving quickly to settle claims before lawsuits go to court.

Miller said Knauf, known as KPT, is in talks with between six and 10 other builders that had used its Chinese-made wallboard.
