During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded restructuring charges of $8.9 million and $10.9 million, respectively. International segment restructuring charges of $8.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, were primarily related to severance costs for staff reductions and footprint optimization associated with our ongoing initiatives to drive profitable growth. Americas segment restructuring charges of $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, were primarily related to costs associated with our global Fixed Gas & Flame Detection manufacturing footprint optimization.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded restructuring charges of $3.5 million and $9.4 million, respectively. International segment restructuring charges of $8.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, were primarily related to severance costs for staff reductions associated with our ongoing initiatives to drive profitable growth and a non-cash settlement charge for the closure of our pension plan in the United Kingdom. Corporate segment restructuring charges of $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, were primarily related to the legal and operational realignment of our U.S. and Canadian operations.
