2. RESTRUCTURING
Fiscal 2019 Restructuring Plan. During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, we adopted and announced a targeted restructuring plan (the "Fiscal 2019 Restructuring Plan"), which included the closure of two manufacturing facilities, one in Brazil and one in England, as well as other actions including the rationalization of certain products. Fewer than 200 positions were eliminated. The Company has relocated the production of certain impacted products to other existing manufacturing operations during fiscal 2020. These restructuring actions were designed to enhance profitability and improve efficiency.
Since inception of the Fiscal 2019 Restructuring Plan we have incurred pre-tax expenses totaling $43,851 related to these restructuring actions, of which $31,660 was recorded as restructuring expenses and $12,191 was recorded in cost of revenues, with a total of $31,162, $2,518, $668, and $7,798 related to the Healthcare Products, Healthcare Specialty Services, Life Sciences, and Applied Sterilization Technologies segments, respectively. Corporate related restructuring charges were $1,705. Additional restructuring expenses related to this plan are not expected to be material to our results of operations.
The following table summarizes our total pre-tax restructuring expenses for fiscal 2020 and 2019:
