昭和42年4月 新日本電気株式会社入社
平成元年7月 関西日本電気株式会社水口 事務部長
平成7年7月 当社出向、マレーシア工場 建設事務所担当部長
平成7年11月 NEC Machinery(Malaysia) Sdn.Bhd.出向
My issue:
昭和42年4月 新日本電気株式会社入社 translates as April 1967 Joined NEC Corporation.
In 1983 Nippon Electric Company, Limited was rebranded as NEC Corporation.
So, Does 日本電気株式会社 here translates to as NEC Corporation(Formerly Nippon Electric Company, Limited) or simply as NEC
Corporation due to year and date changes.
My understanding:
April 1967 Joined NEC Corporation
July 1989 General Manager, Minakuchi Office, Kansai NEC Corporation
July 1995 Seconded to the company, Senior Manager of the Construction Office, Malaysia Factory
November 1995 Seconded to NEC Machinery (Malaysia) Sdn.Bhd

Nippon Electric Company, Limited (renamed NEC Corporation in 1983)
I suggest the above as the person continued to work for NEC after the company changed its name. Alternatively, "Nippon Electric Company, Limited (current NEC Corporation) will be good, too.
The then-company name should be used for matters concerning the past for accuracy.

It says サントリーの前身である壽屋に入社, 壽屋(現サントリーホールディングス株式会社) and 関西公共広告機構を設立(現在のACジャパン)when mentioning entities that have changed their names since.
