Different sorts of replacement industries were created with help of state subsidies both by Lesjöfors and other companies during the decade after the closure of the paper mill, amongst other things wallpapers, wooden shelves and automotive springs were produced before Lesjöfors AB went bankrupt in 1985.
Med hjälp av statliga subventioner skapades olika kortvariga ersättningsindustrier av både Lesjöfors och andra aktörer under decenniet efter pappersbruksnedläggningen, bland annat tapeter, trähyllor och skruvfjädrar tillverkades innan Lesjöfors AB gick i konkurs 1985.
